Another problem is that the sidewalls of tires can crack and force
you to replace them long before the tread would have worn out,
likely worse when the car is not kept in a garage.

Possibly some of the tire treatments like Armor All or something
might prevent that but I also usually find that the tires lasted
as long as I owned the car, since the car was often a number of
years old when I first bought it and other things wore out or died
of old age before the tires went..
