You seem to have misunderstood what I am saying.
If someone puts a "new" tyre on which is *already* five years old or more and it's going to stay on your bike for another three years plus, by the end of that period, especially if your bike is kept out doors, you have no idea what state it is going to be in.
It may still look fine, it may still work fine, or it may suddenly give way when you least expect it.
If you're happy with that, feel free to keep doing it.
