Tires deteriorate with age, regardless of mileage. Generally, tires should be replaced after 5-7 years...regardless of how good they look.
Tires are marked with information regarding where and when manufactured. The code reads DOT followed by a code for the plant where made, then the week and year of manufacture. This information, not the year of the car serves as your best basis for determining the age of the tires. If you find that you're already in the 6th year....replace them. You might also require the tire shop to destroy them in front of you so that the tires don't become a risk resold to an innocent/unknowing consumer.
