I've read it would be advisable to replace them. Since most of us don't drive our cars everyday, I was wondering what length of time you guys recommend between tire replacement.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
I have seen different recommendations on tire life, but generally not beyond 10 years. Keeping them out of the sun and heat will prolong their life. Mine is always garaged when I'm not using it (as often as I can) and I'm in the Canadian prairies - fairly warm in summer, but gawdawful cold in winter - so the tires might last forever.
