Default New Steer tires: Three questions

What is the current conventional wisdom about steer tire age? Mine show very little wear, and have no sidewall dry rot that I can see, but I think they are 6yrs old. Is it time to replace them anyway?

Anyone running the Michelin X Coach HL Zs? I was just wondering how the extra weight capacity might affect ride.

Lastly, when Michelin gives a tire 3-stars instead of 5 for fuel efficiency, does that mean that they are 40% less fuel efficient?!
