An aside on tire rotation
I am told by junkyard workers they are amazed how many vehicles now go
to the crusher with "virgin" factory full size spares in the trunk!
Also, since so many new car buyers summarily install aftermarket wheels
taking substantially different tires (and in sizes the factory doesn't
approve of...) there is sometimes a very good supply of "used" tires
and wheels that in reality are brand new. Purchasing and using these
carries no shame in my book.

Except that the rubber deteriorates over time regardless. That tire
may look great but at 7+ years the integrity may have been
compromised.
