Mileage.
If I changed tires on the cars by date, I would have more sets of tires than oil changes.
I've got BF's that have to be 20 years old now and I still run them up 85mph. They have maybe 1500 miles on them at the most.
Wear for me. Tires on the Charger are probably 12-13 yrs. old and still look good. Keep the air pressure checked and look them over at least once a month for cracks or bulges. Have about 20k on them.

Same here, Tim. I bought the tires for my Charger in June 2003 and have less than 10,000 miles on them. The rears have about 50% remaining, the fronts are at about 70%. They still look great because when the car isn't driven, it sits inside my shop with little sunlight inside. Last year I wanted to get the tires REbalanced and the "America's Tire" store wouldn't do it since the tires are more than 10 years old. Lawsuits and greedy plaintiffs really screw over people.
