I used to wear out a set tires every couple of years so I'd buy 4 tires and use one of my old tires for the spare. These days tires get old before I wear them out so I'll buy 5 and include the spare when I rotate them. I think 8 years is considered old.

8 years is old?

Damn, the Toyo M-55 255-85-16 E tires have been on my 96 GMC K2500 HD since 09. But I swapped the tires and aluminum wheels off from my 84 3/4 ton diesel where they had lived for a minimum of five years. That makes this set at least 16 years old with about 60K on the tread.

They are expensive, but I got my money's worth from them.
