I'm on the other end of the thinking on that, as high priced as tires a getting. Even though they don't last as long as they use to, I still run em on out until they are bald, blown, or coming apart. I do make sure I have a good spare and good jack when I head down the road.
I'd maybe not be this way on long trips. But for short trips (basically around home), I figure the short trips reduces the chances of having more than one blow out on the same outing, and needing more than just the one spare to get back home. And on the rare occasion you would, your not very far away from home, or if you really don't want to take chances, throw in a second spare.
I guess alot of it has to do with not being burdened with changing a flat. But if you got a good jack, and the right one for the job, it don't take long. Some just don't want to be bothered with it, and I understand that too. I get alot of used tires at the local tire shop, like what your going to take off, for virtually free. Put em on stuff that don't get used much, or go very far.
About the only trailer I got that I don't do that with, is my gooseneck stock trailer. I just don't like the burden of flats when I got livestock on board. I run fairly new 10 to 14 ply on it.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
