15k miles on 7+ year old tires - replace or ok for now?
I'm purchasing a 2011 328i coupe that has ~15k miles on it. It literally looks brand new inside and out, not a speck of surface rust anywhere. The tires are original, although there's no signs of dry rotting or anything, and there's still a lot of tread left. The PO purchased it mid 2010, so they've been on the car for over 7 years now. I've read that some manufacturers say tires are good up to 10 years provided you get yearly inspections after the fifth year, but I'm not sure if run-flats are any different. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I am planning on eventually ditching the run flats, but I feel like it's a waste to get rid of them immediately considering the tires at least look nearly brand new despite their age.
