Tire shops won’t touch anything dated 10 years ago (some 8 years). I go about 8 max on my cars.
(assuming you check for cracks regularly)

In a performance application ( on a high performance automobile), seven years old is the default max tire life regardless of miles.

If you don't think your 2 seat 460 hp car is a high performance automobile or you are cheap, then adjust accordingly.

For me, 6-7 years is the max I go on a set of tires.
