Correct answer
Inspect them regularly and replace according to their condition and manufacturer recommendations.
A tyre’s service life is not determined solely by its age or tread depth: use, damage, storage and maintenance also matter. Michelin recommends professional inspection at least annually after 5 years of use and precautionary replacement 10 years after manufacture if still in service. Replace sooner when their condition requires it and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
