I anticipate another 3-5 years to complete the rest of the project. The project is inside my garage and is not subjected to sun or weather. If I did put the new wheels and tires on the vehicle would be left on jack stands under the axles so the weight would not be on the tires. Is it a good idea to go ahead with the tires or wait until the the last minute to prolong life? Any personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

If I were you I would buy some cheap rollers off of craigslist. No way would I buy my good tires now.
Just my 2¢ worth....
