My tires are OEM and the bike was built 10/2002. I have read a few places that tires should be replaced after six or seven years regardless of tread depth.

I have been looking at tire options with this in mind. I have a 2003 BA with close to 7K miles. The tread depth is fine...



Averaging 733 miles per year, I would leave the old skins on till the tread is gone. New tires will do nothing for you.
