Just changed the front tyres on my Twingo: 100,000km in 11 years.

"How old is too old? The five year test

After five years or more in service, your tyres should be thoroughly
inspected at least once per year. If the need arises, follow the
recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer regarding replacing the
original equipment tyres. As a precaution, if the tyres have not been
replaced 10 years from their date of manufacture (see how to read a
tyre sidewall), Michelin recommends replacing them with new tyres.
Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down
to the tread wear indicator."
