Do the tires sit outside or in a garage? My 2013 F150 has the original tires, about 30K miles, and they look good. The truck owner's manual says to replace a 7 years regardless of miles/wear. It sits in the garage unless I'm driving it, which is not that often or far. I'm thinking one more year and I'll replace them.
