Tires. How old is to old
My tires on the wini 34ft are now at 7 years. Never kept them covered and always outside. Any Idea when to replace them. Thanks

You do not understand
Sunlight exposure does not matter - 7 year life
under inflation does not matter - 7 year life
Over loaded MH does not matter - 7 year life
High southern heat when driving does not matter - 7 year life
etc. etc. - 7 year life
Respectfully, I disagree with you. He understands perfectly that with reasonable care which includes preventing moisture from coming up around the tires from the ground, storage indoors, close inspection for cracking, proper inflation, not scuffing the sidewalls on turns, not left stored in standing water, kept out of direct sunlight, etc, that their is realistic potential for safely running your tires beyond the 6-7 year time frame. The longer this period is the more intense your tire maintenance and observation should become.
Even with all of this attention the day to change your tires out will inevitably arrive.
