Many factors.

Temp
Dampness/humidity
Light
In a bag or not.

I'll if they are hard or shows cracking. Its a sign that its time to replace. All depends if you care about short times and consistnacy. Also a tire could be too hard but could "work" for test and tune.

If you have any doubt do not run them. Safety first.
