+1 for Mimi's advice. Usually my tires get cut to shreds before wearing out. I try to totally delfate both tires peridically, then go around each one, digging out the glass and metal embedded in there. Oh I wear latex gloves to do this for obvious reasons.
oh aye the chain - I use a Park Chain Checker (CC-2) and replace when it gets to .75 extension. I got about 5,000 miles out of a Campagnolo chain and I'm a masher.
