Six years? Is that a fact or opinion? Because I don't have a life, I checked around and couldn't find any such six year rule. here's what BFGoodrich has to say.
"...service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not possible...
....Tires which have been in use for 5 years or more should continue to be inspected by a specialist... such as a tire dealer... at least annually....
....It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their calendar age alone .....
....While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years,
it is recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal wear limit...."
