Better check the date on the spare, Dan, it would be a real PITA if you
had to use the spare, and it went poof! before you got the damaged tire
repaired. Some folks are using 5 or 6 years for life expectancy, some
are using the Manufacturer's claim. I just had all 7 replaced. A few
years back, I had 3 tires start to shed tread rubber within 3 months. Two
were only a little over 5 years old, the other was 7. One of them took
out the tubing to the air bag on that side. Tires are supposed to be
getting better in recent years, but, who knows for sure?
Be sure to specify new tires not more than 6 month old, some tire shops
have inventory that's been around a while.

Thank you Ron. Good points.

It reminds me that I have to verify the rim size of the spare.
