Excellent point and compromising a tire's reliability is not necessarily a cumulative thing ... IMO it's sort of like cracking a glass, it only takes one time to crack it and then you've done the damage immediately. In view of the potential damage from a blowout vs the total cost of new tires if it were me I would be replacing all those tires ASAP. I personally just would no longer trust them to any longer. Of course I'm also the one that if I do have a flat on a tire, I consider the other tire on that side also no good (i.e. compromised reliability wise) and I replace tires in pairs.

I change mine in 5s. Last summer I had 2 flats on one side of the TT in one trip. I am fully convinced that the second one went because it had to carry the full weight of that side of the TT for a few miles until we realized we had a flat. Later in the day. the other one blew.
they were in their 4th year. so when I got home. I bought 5 new tires, and junked all of the old ones. No more old tire for me, and now I carry 2 spares.
