What kind of damage to the tire? Hit something or blowout?
I am assuming these are ST tires. If so, 3 seasons is all you should count on.

Yes, ST tires. Mechanical damage, rather not get into detail. Shop stated on receipt for me: "damaged beyond repair - scrap".
I thought some say you can do up to 5 years depending on mileage and if they're taken care of. I'm picky about doing all the right stuff including religious checking of air pressure before each leg of a trip.
I do 5 yrs. on my FW tires.
As suggested....new tire becomes spare
'Mechanical damage'
Passenger/curbside front axle tire?
Curbs will cause sidewall damage
Many years ago when I went from TT to FW found out FW tracks 'inside.
Whacked a few 'obstacles' when making right hand turns at first...then got used to 'wide turns' :B
