Three conditions:
1. Age: tires that are too old shouldn't be used anymore, since they will become brittle and can blow. Find out the production date on the sidewall quoted in production week and year. I would say depending on intended use, no older than 5-7 years on a car or motorcycle, 10 years on a lil' red wagon or similar use
2. Cracks: if you see visible deterioration (cracks) anywhere it's time to chuck them
3. Use: under minimum amount of profile necessary, ditto. See the wear indicators being flush with the tire surface? Time to let go.
