Do you avoid replacing the tires on your car until they fail because
you have a spare?


Hardly a fair comparison. Tires are wear items; you replace them when
the tread is worn down to a certain level.

The fair comparison is your brake power pump. If it fails, you have
very limited backup. How often do you replace that?
