The “life” of tires is suggested to be 7 years by the DOT, regardless of use. Exposure to heat and particularly sun will shorten tire life from that. I had to replace the tires on my wife’s car after 5 years, even though they had only been driven 1,800 miles. It’s easy to figure out when you need new ones. The rubber in the sidewalls begins to dry rot—dry, crack and even fall off exposing the fabric base. And you’ll hear an odd sound as you’re driving—the cracking and pieces of rubber rubbing together.
