[Healeys] Tire ITyre) life

In Southern NV or places with other "extreme" temperature differentials, you
should error on the conservative side.

On my daily driver here, about 3 years is typical and 4 years is the absolute
max.  I recently had to replace a set of 4 year old 60k mile rated tires on my
truck recently at 30k miles, not because they were worn out, but because they
got hard and started spalling rubber.

Between low humidity, high UV radiation and summer road pavement temperatures
of up to 175 degrees F, tires don't last long in the desert.

Tires don't really appreciate extreme cold either.
