I'm not a mechanic... but,

I use three indicators of when to change a tire/tires

1) I get a blowout and blowouts usually occur for me when the tire stores are closed and i have no spare, or i'm motoring rural.

2) I wear it down to the horizontal bumps (done once, actually I rented a car that had tires like that. I didn't know I was driving on bald tires, til someone told me.)

3) When I'm cornering, the wheels start grossly losing grip.

sometimes #3 is due to poor car design.

You may want to consider rotating your tires, in theory, it should give more life to your tires.
