Have them checked annually after 5 years according to Michelin and also the other tire manufacturers.

Keep five years in mind

After five years or more in use, your tires should be thoroughly inspected at least once per year by a professional.

Ten years is a maximum

If the tires haven't been replaced 10 years after their date of manufacture, as a precaution, Michelin recommends replacing them with new tires. Even if they appear to be in usable condition and have not worn down to the tread wear indicator. This applies to spare tires as well.

I personally would not recommend any high speed events after 5 years.

I had new Nittos put on today. The tires that were on the car were from 2004. I also had new metal valve stems installed as the old ones were corroded. .
