Brings up the question: How long will tires last when they are in use? I
drive 3000 miles a year. My tires are 8 years old. They have a lot of tread
left but, are they still save? Do tires last longer when they are mounted
and in use?

Depends on the tire. I had a set of 6-ply Goodrich All Terrain that ran
for a decade, and were still on the pickup and looking good when I sold
it. It's best to protect them from the sun.
