    My spare tire is unused and practically new - Yokohama Aspec which is the stock tire of our Innova.

    Our tire suffered from uneven wear which may require us to change tire sooner than expected. My plan is to use the three year old spare tire and buy the rest (same model).

    I'll just check how old that spare is and estimate how long it will still last.

    Anyone who has done this?

    yes, pwede naman.
    or, since magpapalit ka naman ng the rest of the tires, still retain the reserve as a reserve.

    We do the same on some vehicles at home. we always rotate the remaining good tyre as a spare when a full tyre change is done.

    Gusto ko gamitin yung reserve kc ayaw ko naman mag-expire siya na hindi ginagamit. Balak ko sana kasi palit ng bagong tire model pero balik sa dati muna.

    Pwede gamitin. Sayang, sana lang naisama sa rotation noon para sabay sabay napudpud then pili ng the best para gawing spare pag nagpalit ng set.
