Depends on how hard you drive, what surfaces you drive on, if you've kept the tyre pressure as it should be and how important it is for you to have really good tyres. A fairly general rule is that a tyre should be replaced when there's less than 3 mm of tread depth left. At that value the tyre's ability to displace water will be compromised, putting you at a greater risk of hydroplaning. It's inadvisable to replace only one tyre, they should at least be replaced in pairs, front or rear. Doing only one increases the risk of the car spinning out during braking. Another recommendation is to keep the best tyres at the rear. As the car brakes the rear wheels will go lighter, and with less weight on them they need to be grippier than the front not to break free. If they break free the car will spin out. Regardless of how much driving you do car tyres will become stiffer and drier as they age. It's not that much of an issue in warm climates, but a sudden onset of frost can render an old tyre pretty much useless even if its got plenty of tread left.
