Some people will replace two tires a year. You can start with the steer tires this year. Next year get two new tires but them on the sterring axle again and move the pair you bought this year to the rear. Then the following year, do it all again.
It allows you to space out your purchases over three years, and you always have a fresh set of tires on your steering axle.
