Age of tires on your tow vehicle/ When to replace?
What's the general consensus (age wise) to replace tires on tow vehicles?

My father actually had some tires age out on his passenger car. His vision was so bad that the 12 year old tires looked good to him - plenty of tread. They couldn't hold pressure because of the cracks in the sidewall leaking slowly.
He was 90 at the time and hadn't driven the car more than a couple thousand miles a year for close to 15 years (he really should not have driven at all - not the first battle I lost with him).
He did teach me a rule when I was young - 5-6 years max. I've never had passenger car, truck or trailer tires age out. Always wore them out.
