Replace them when they fail.

I did a good 25,000 miles on the original, wafer-thin front tube, and over 30,000 on the rear.

The front tube is still fine, and I carry it as my spare tube. The only reason I swapped it was because my spare happened to be a thicker tube, and thus took up annoyingly more space to carry.

I changed the rear tube because I pinched it fitting a tyre. Otherwise it was still fine.
