I hate it when that happens! I've never had an old car or truck out of service for more than a few months. But I typically don't put even 5K miles on the tires by the time they're 8-10 years old! It really sucks when Cooper Cobra and BFG Radial TA tires cost 50% more than just a few years ago.
I have two buddies who've never put even a mile on new sets of tires! Their 2-3 year projects turned into 12-13 years. One of the cars is finally on the road; the other is still a ways off. However, those are both frame-off builds with lots of body and suspension mods. And, unfortunately, a few changes of plans as newer and better parts became available over the years.
