True for some but not all. Michelin and Kumho for example have 80-100,000 mile rated tires that they stamp with a 72-84 month warranty but for your typical M/T I agree...6 years safely. I get guy's in the shop all the time wanting there 8-10 year old spare put on and I won't do it. I had a 8 year old Goodyear blow on a customer in my parking lot just shortly after installing it and airing it back to 35 psi. It looked brand new.
