I have a 2000 Firehawk with 275 40 17 rubber. How long do they last? Not miles - time In 3 1/2 years only 7000 miles. I've been told I could get 20,000 + miles on them - that could take 12 years! Anyone know the time limit on tires. Thank's I'am new - ex SLP er Randy

depends on how the car is stored, temperature humidity etc.
look for dry rot, cracks on the sidewall, you don't want the rubber drying out. I would not run them after 5 years for sure.
