Is that how long tires will last in Illinois?
What about in NM, AZ or S CA?
I would imagine the desert regions are very hard on tires. I suppose different rules for different environments.
I can only speak for our particular situation where our tires don't see light or temperature extremes when at home. I think "ideal" storage offers monumental benefits. Not just tires, but every category from mechanical to cosmetic, seals/caulk/gaskets etc. etc.
