Just like other materials being manufactured a tyre has an expiry date, normally a tyre is not suppose to last more than 5 years, because weather condition affects tyres, even a parked vehicle's tyre also expire,
The standard tyre is built to last for 4 years and if still in use after 4 years from the date of manufacture then its at your own risk because it can burst during high speeds or if you check you notice visible separations, which can disappoint you while driving.
Every manufactured tyre have a date of manufacture(DOM) always written like this (2415)
whereas 24 is the week on which it was produced and 15 is the year which it was produced, so while buying your tyres always check the manufacture date to avoid buying a ''close-to-expiry'' tyre, also it is important to check the dates if you are planning to buy used tyre for your vehicle, if you notice any visible small cracks from a tyre its a sign that the tyre life is already compromised, so as to stand in safe side always check a tyre's date of manufacture and other things(discussed previously) here is a picture of what it looks like below
