I usually don't make it to the six year mark on tires, finding they are starting to get slippery around the 4-5 year mark. Rain or damp roads is the first indicator, followed by slips in the dry. Long life tires can be particularly bad for hardening up and not giving the grip I want.

I had to laugh at some reviews of a Michelin tire on TireRack.com. Same tire, Caddy CTS owners hated (no grip) while Accord owners loved them (long life!).

Once they start sliding when they shouldn't, it's time to change them, no matter what the tread.
