Buying new tires can be a costly affair. Therefore, it is prudent to want to get as much service from your current set as possible. To answer your question, how? There is a technique known as tire rotation where you swap each tires' position after a period, preferably when you have an oil change.

The tire swaps ensure that the tire wear in a uniform manner which means they live longer. The reason is that all the four-wheels have their wear points which are never uniform. The tires have different contact points with the roads that tend to wear quicker than the rest of the tire. By switching them, they ensure that the wear is distributed all through and will yield more service than just replacing one tire after wear.

Also, if a car is a two-wheel drive, the two-wheel giving the car traction will be worn out quicker than the other two. Therefore, with time, you could switch the worn-out pair with the less worn out to get more service.
