Several factors. They are –

Here are some important points to note in this regards.

Keep five years in mind

As you go on to buy new tyres, you should keep this point in mind that for the first five years, nothing can force you to change them. But post-five years, you should get them checked occasionally by your mechanic.

Ten years is a maximum

Somehow, if you manage to drag them ahead of five years to six, seven, eight, nine, you should knowingly start looking for replacement after ten years.
