It sounds like your neighbor has a pretty good history of these tires. Enough of a history to believe they were garaged, etc…
Have him find out how long they sat between exercise and what was the longest period of inactivity.
Then weigh that against the type of travel he intends to do.
If they sat for months at a time each year, I wouldn't waste money on a proper inspection. I'd just replace for safety sake.
At the very least, if all tires check out OK, I'd replace the front. That way he could spread the cost over at least a year, maybe more depending upon how next year's inspection would turn out.
Also, By the time you inspect this year and then next year, you've bought a tire and maybe part of a second.
