Exactly. The moment it occurs to me it should go, it goes.

Typically this is triggered because the flat frequency has increased and/or the tire looks squared off. A deep cut on a very new tire gets the Shoo Goo treatment rather than disposal.

Since you're curious jadmt, my tires generally look much better than the photos shown here when they're disposed of, but that's because the flat frequency goes up long before the tires look as bad as these.

I also do the Sheldon Brown "old front to the rear, new on the front" thing too.
