Heat is what wheres them out. If you keep them in the snow,(and out of snirt,) they will almost last forever.

I change mine every year because the sand,rocks,dirt get embedded in the plastic and ware out the track clips.So just because they look good they might be bad.

I think raceinsnows got it. A few times after I removed the high fax I did cross cuts to check actual thickness in the high stress areas. You need to check them real close, more so for those who dive into the shoulders for more snow. There are allways high and low spots especially on the inside edges. High fax take a ton of abuse and may look good and still need replacing. Also proper track tension is essential for long wear.
I've got 5400 miles on my set with a 2" paddle track. Was going to replace them this fall but looked them over and they are still excellent. Keys to long life are good snow and track tension. I run my track as loose as I can without racheting and always have good snow to ride in.
I replaced after 6100 miles. They definetly wore uneven though. Just check along the entire length. If you ride in snow they last a long time.
If you wear through to the rails, you need to replace, thats how I look at it! I asked someone when to replace a track, they responded "when it falls off!!!" haha ...just thought that was funny!

Totally depends on what your riding on. every year is a joke. Unless your riding in bad conditions which i will not.

Then again if you ride 5k a year, it would be a good idea : )
Snodogg,
I replaced my track toward the end of the season last year! I jumped out on a lake and hammered it. A mile or two into it and I was coasting!
So ditto when it falls off! Look ma, No brakes. Glad it didn't come off in the woods. I can't believe it didn't take out my heat exchanger.

I replaced mine at 7,000 miles, only because I was replacing the track. The hifax still had many miles left on them. I find that hifax will wear in certain areas more than others and people panic. My experience has been they can wear to a certain point in higher contact areas and then they don't wear much more after that. Different sleds make a difference too as I've noticed alot of Yamaha guys don't get many miles out of their hifax.
