2001, so that is a 12 year old tire? 12 years of being out in the weather? How are the sidewalls? Cracking? UV does all kinds of damage to rubber. Even a 20 year old tire can look new inside. The inside is mostly protected from moisture, sun, etc. I'm not trying to get you to spend all your money, but a 12 year old tire with an unknown history on the steer axle? Your call.
