cracking and hardening are very different. i won't keep tires older than 7 years from the date on the tire on any of my cars.
most people, including dealers don't check the tire dates. they check tread depth.
i used to not, until my family took a vacation with a dual-axle trailer, and ended up blowing out 6 tires on the trailer(dual spares), and 5 on the tow vehicle, all separate instances. all were over 7 years old and had no visible signs of cracking.
also, only 4300 miles?!? what's even the point of keeping it around? if i don't drive my car at least once a week, i start getting withdrawal!
