I've never used any until the belt starts to show - I basically replace them when I can't stand looking at some of the cuts. That's because I worry about small hard bits getting lodged in the cuts and working their way through.

A friend recommended mixing powdered rubber (sanded off old tubes) with rubber solution (for applying patches) to fix those cuts, but I guess I feel safer with a fresh tyre.
