Can tires "wear out" due to sunlight and time. Some say 7 year old tires should be replaced no matter what.
For example, my wife's Explorer with 7 year old Bridgestone Duelers HL with 50,000 or so miles have 5-6/32 of tread left and are starting to crack badly, especially where the tread meets the shoulder.
Of course my tire dealer says replace. I tend to agree. Just something else to think about regarding tread/tire life.
