Out in the country in Iowa, a tire is likely to last much longer than one in Los Angeles or other major urban areas. Ozone is a major contributor to rubber degradation. Where I live, I can probably go ten years and have tires in better condition than 3 year old tires in New York City.

Sunlight also causes ozone formation, so carefully choosing where you regularly park is also important.
