Whatever your personal preference is in tire replacement; does not constitute the common usage of motorcycling community at large.

I much rather relying on my ability to predict and avoid danger; rather then depending on my tire to perform at 100% of available traction.

My suggestion was to replace what's necessary, unnecessary tire replacement is just waste... and there is finite amount of rubber/waste that we should all consider.
Ever hear of an emergency stop? I'm not talking about dragging a knee.

There are all sorts of "common practices" that are just plain stupid - so that's not proof it's a good choice.

Thinking your skills are good enough not to need 100% traction at some point is naive.
