I change mine out at 4/32s now that I live where it rains a lot. When I lived in the desert, they'd go down to 2/32, or sometimes slightly lower. I've never had a tire exceed six years from date of manufacture. Of course, this is with standard production street tires. I've never run racing tires.

All the tires I've purchased start at 10/32s, so we're close in our approach.

I run my Michelins until inner cords show unless it's Oct. which is when the rain starts in SoCA.
