*On second thought, I would, but only for a brand new spare tire that we all hope to never have to need anyway (I don’t include the spare in rotation). Its still better than repurposing one of the old tires. It may look useable, but since they’re old, they could be succumbing to dry rot na.

Unless one is really hard up, its still best to change all 4 at the same time (lalo na if may promo).
What is the best course of action in my case? Buy 4 new tires and then what? Do I change my spare tire with the usable old rear tires that I have and then dispose the worn out old front tires?
