Maybe the spare was a different kind of tire and would affect handling. It could be a radial and he was replacing with bias. You can't mix them.

It really is better to replace tires in pairs. Is $248 worth you losing control and crashing into a tree, or a school bus?
It's the same as the 4 I had on it but 100% bran spanking new, when I get home I will go see my friend who has a tire store and he will sell me the same ones for $125, granted they are good one and have 60,000 mile guaranty from GoodYear
