The reason I ponder it is a couple of years ago I got a set of Bontrager H5 Hardcase tires anticipating I'd be making a point of biking to work about 13 miles away more often and there's a lot more opportunity to encounter tire hazards. Then covid hit and I'm working at home and never did put the hardcase tires on. My riding around here is on pavement and doesn't even particularly challenge the less tough Bontragers that are on it - it seems like a waste to burn up the Hardcase tires when I could save them for a time when there might be a better reason to use them. But if they're doomed to rot over time just sitting there I'd just put them on when the current tires wear out.
