Do you know the brand, model, and size of your spare?
look on ebay
the tire sitting inside the car should never be exposed to sunlight, so in theory it should last "forever"... UV is what damages the rubber and is why tires gets dry rotted and need to be replaced
the only time you need to replace a spare tire is when it's visbly damaged... happened to our corolla's... the tread started separating from the rest of the tire... apparently common on those cars but never seen it happen before

I second this.
you can assume or you can take your normal wheel/tire off and try putting it in the spare tire well to see if it fits
Yes, you are correct. It fits, but the carpet trunk liner thing just won't sit flush with the floor of the trunk.
Come on, let's be friendly here
I just keep my regular donut in the trunk, but on longer trips where I have space, I may take my full sized spare with me.
If you can find a spare wheel and tire that are the exact same dimensions and size as the OE set on your car, it's an attractive option to be able to just put it on and not worry about it.
