most tire companies offer road hazard and tread life warranty's that extend over a period of 5 years..
Now depending on the type of tires that you have(sport radials , all-seasons,etc.) you can use that as a bench mark..
Up to 5 years

Time has nothing to do with it. The consideration is based on tread wear. Some brands will wear better than others and some won't. Most moderately priced tires will last over 50K miles. Then one wants to look for not only tread wear but side casing and belt slippage. Tread wear, as some one else suggested, should cover the hair line of Lincoln's head when inserting a penny in to the tread. If the top of the head is showing then the tread depth is too shallow.

Most of the above answers are good. Additionally, some tires have a tread marker (a raised section between the tread). If the wear of the tread goes to the level of the treadmarker or below, it is time to replace the tires.

Look at the condition of the tires. The tread should still have a safe amount of depth, at least 3 mm. The sidewalls should not be showing a pattern of hairline cracks or other signs of deterioration. If the tires pass these tests, they're safe to drive on.

Your local auto parts store, usually carry tire tread gages and I change my tires when the gage reads 4 or less

If this is a front wheel drive with all new tires, I drive on the back tires forever (200,000km). They will not need to be replaced for a long, long time unless you rotate them or the wheel alignment is not just right. The front tires will need to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000km. Remember, if you don't rotate your rear tires, they last a very long time on a front wheel drive. Good luck.

Follow the manufacturers wear out on the tires.

Depends how much time it takes for the tyres to wear down to the safe limit, usually minimum 4mm over the WHOLE tyre or down to the tread wear indicators someone mentioned above.

It is based on wear.
In America we take a 1 cent coin,a penny,and when inserted into the tread Lincoln's head should not be totaly visable.

Go to the local Kwik-Fit Centre and ask them to check them
