In fact I read the entire NHTSA primer on pneumatic tires (all 707 pages)and the accepted wisdom is that degradation occurs faster after 5 years but the recommendation is still to inspect them regularly, keep them inflated to the proper level, and replace at the first signs of aging issues.
A lot of tire degradation happens inside the tire, and since I don't have X-ray vision I replace my trailer tires on a time basis, and a very conservative one at that. Between three and five years, tops, and never more than thirty thousand miles.
