Front tire life?

George, Thanks for the thoughts
We have Red River Army Depot near my home in Texarkana.
They have THE tire and track rubber shop for all the us military.
They do the tire & track Maintenance for every tire and track vehicle our Govt owns.
One of my racing buddies has worked there quite a few years.
He tells me the Govt. has a 3 year limit on tires. They are replaced every three years no matter what. It doesn't matter if they were sitting in storage 3 years or on the battlefield 3 years.
Must be one of those DOT "one rule fits all" mandates or the tire industry lobby is real strong.
I'm probably going do like our Govt. and support the tire industry.
