should i replace all 5 tires or just 4?

[XPBoostSeeker777]

been running stock Michelin ATX Trail tires for a while now and thinking it's time for something more versatile. the question though: do I need to replace all 5 tires and rotate them as a set or is it cool to just do 4 and leave the spare? I've got the lockers and MTS on my LC, but what happens if I use the old spare after the rest of the tires wear down a bit? don't want any issues on the trail. anyone here done something like this or have advice?

I'm new to this landcruiser thing so I'm not sure if my opinion is valid, but I believe it's logical to purchase all 5. I'm not going to risk it if it were me, that I'll be stuck with a spare tire that's flat if you don't replace all 5. It's just not convenient if you ever g on a long drive without a spare at all. You can't trust a Michelin too much.
