Exactly what I was thinking. The previous discussions on this and other forums indicate a blown tire on one side causes an overload condition to the other tire on the same side which will dramatically shorten the life of the other tire, many times causing the other tire to blow. It's not like you have a vehicle with a differential type axle needing matched tires, and at only 5,000 miles, there shouldn't be much wear.
