It's not really the same though is it? If you replace an old or damaged tyre, you are replacing it with a brand new tyre that hasn't already been used and then forced off a wheel. The concern is over the damage done to a tyre that you intend to use again, when you take it off.

The alloys are also at more risk of being damaged too because every one has at least 2 changes every year, rather than say 1 change every 2 years
