Regular use helps. Tires that just sit seem to rot.
Partly why I like loaning out the car trailer to the
neighbors.

Not sure how often you would need to reapply.

The special sealant is only available in northern climates and it is only
available during the winter months. It's called "snow" and works best when
applied with deep cloud cover that limits sunlight to 3 hrs per day.
"Snow" protectant is supplemented by use of "salt induced deep corrosion
303 offers a “tire protectant and balm” product that blocks UV, but if it was
exposed to the elements I suspect you would have to reapply regularly.

There must be some sort of sealant that you could spray on tires to
protect them from UV if you are not able to park indoors.

When I was at the vast northern estate last week I noticed a bunch of pickup
trucks parked with covers over the tires. I expect these are plow trucks that
are rarely used in the summer time and the covers protect the tires from the
UVs.
I'm REALLY pleased we get to park both the tractors
Same with Florida *if* the vehicle is stored outside. In this case, Bob just
got this back from Dad, who was in Peoria, IL, if I recall correctly.

As an Arizona resident, I have a 5 year hard line on life of tires. The UV
exposure in AZ cooks the sidewall rubber to the point of failure. I have
had 4 tires simply explode from sidewall failure while parked. All were
past the 5 year life limit. Had the vehicles been loaded, at highway speed,
My F150 owners manual says 7 years, then replace regardless of miles. Our
truck spends most of the time in the garage and only has 19,000 miles, so
I'm going to go 10 years, then look at them closely.

I would agree with Greg. Since Dad was in IL most of the time, I suspect the
sidewalls are in good shape. I would inspect them closely for cracking, and if
they look good, don’t worry about it at this point.

I would say that climate conditions are a critical factor. Heat and UV are
the primary enemies. I would think a truck stored outdoors in AZ would age
tires much faster than here in the PNW.
I would certainly inspect closely for signs of heat/sunlight damage.

I guess Michelin says you can go up to 10 years, depending on many factors.

IIRC, 5 or 6 years is the recommended age to replace tires regardless of tread

You don’t want that old truck with old tires. Drop it off at Okie Acres.

My ‘05 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 SLT 5.9 Cummins has 60K mile Michelins on it that
were made third week of 2016. Between my dad I there have been 40k miles put on
them. They are wearing well.
When do I need to get nervous about the straight up age of the tires? Citing
that data should I be concerned
