So now he's going to die or be grievously injured because of that tire?
If someone is a pretty casual rider that's not putting in too many miles annually, sure - change out a tire after a handful of years when it's looking sad and dried out. If you ride a decent amount, though, making a habit out of throwing away a tire that has potentially thousands of miles left is going to increase your consumables budget considerably.
