No big deal if the chex are gone. Look at the rear and see if it's starting to square off instead of being round. That'll be a good sign that the end is imminent. From there it'll start being more common to get flats due to the thinner rubber. Also check your sidewalls from cracking/damage. That's where my tires tend to go bad due to heat in the garage.
