Broke a tie-down strap in rural Nevada, learned the hard way about UV damage

Last month I was hauling my old F-150 from Reno to Salt Lake City. About 80 miles past Winnemucca I stopped to check the straps and one just snapped when I touched it. It looked fine from the outside, but the sun had cooked it over the years. I had to buy a replacement set at a gas station for $60, way more than they cost online. That strap was only 3 years old but I parked outside a lot. Do you guys replace ratchet straps on a schedule or just wait for them to fail?
