Yes, a good mechanic cycles the tires every service, and recommends switching all 5 before end of life. I’ve had better luck though convincing my clients to start changing tires one tire at a time starting 1.5 years before end of life at every service. Since a lot of clients don’t like shelling money for all 5 at the same time.
It’s been 9 years since I’ve been a mechanic, so take my advice for what you will.
I can understand replacing 1 axle at a time if the tires aren’t cross rotated, but one new tire and one old tire on the rear axle will lead to some odd fishtailing under emergency braking…
