I'm all about preventive caution in life, but I also stop before being silly about it.

Old habits are hard to break but agree 5 or 6 years is reasonable for replacing tires and give a all around inspection when tires are off for wheel bearing greasing and a very good look at when checking the suspension before traveling. Many people just look at the outside of the tire and don't inspect the inside which is just as important.
