let abcde be the 5 tyres
select 4 of the 5 in 5C4 = 5 ways. All the 5 groups will be used for 2kms each.
In these 5 groups each will be used 4 times. Each tyre is used for 8kms.
For every 8kms travelled by tyres max dist is 10km overall.
for 10kms travelled by tyres max distance would be 10/8*10 = 100/8 = 12.5
