My brother's old Pulsar had approx 10 year old tyres (crappy Zeix). The sidewalls split on all four tyres in the space of a week. I'd be paranoid on 10 year old tyres.
I've got 15 year old tyres on a car in my garage, holding air (holding it better than the daily driver does!) and no signs of rotting/cracking/drying out. Oh, and they've only been garaged the last 3. Before that they sat in a couple of different paddocks/yards, and even spent about a week underwater too.
However, weather and other environmental factors can really change how quickly they start to dry out and crack.
The moment I read "never brought in the 1 child policy like China" I was ready to send a reply "it's what they use the second child in china for..." Ha ha ha
I can tell how quickly your brain squirrels 😛
