I took Driver's Ed classes in Madrid, Spain in 2014. All signs, rules, and more are different in Europe (vs. USA). One of the rules is you MUST replace your tires every 5 years, and have the invoice to prove it. No guesswork required.

There is no mention online of Spain's 5 year tire (tyre) limit. There is mention of an 800 euro fine re: inspection violations. But, I did see the tire life question on the practice exam. Here's a link to such a test (scroll to the bottom of the webpage):

Here's a link referencing the fine (per tyre?):
Up to €800 fine in Spain if you do not have these car parts in order
Oh, and now they are requiring that every vehicle carry a V16 beacon:
Carrying V16 Emergency Light Is Mandatory in Spain ?

BTW, Spanish police make Texas Rangers appear polite!
