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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
