Obviously, if a tire is operated outside it's design parameters, it is bound to fail prematurely.
However, the OP indicates that he operated his tires within the restrictions of their design and they failed at 2 year of age. The problem here is that most all of the tire pundits refuse to acknowledge that there are cases when an individual gets a bad set of tires. If that is the limit of their design then having to replace tires every 2 years would be categorized as an "unnecessary expense". There are tires out there that may cost a little more but will hold up for well past 5 years.
Simply said, when operated within their design parameters, a set of tires should last a minimum of 5 years without having issues. Of course, extensive travel resulting in a worn out tread condition is an understandable situation. If your ST tires have a bad habit of failing prematurely, then it's time to look elsewhere.
