The average shelf life a passenger car tire is 6 years. How many years has your spare tire been there unused?

I was listening to a trial lawyer preparing a case against a tire company. The average shelf life a passenger car tire is six years to include the spare tire. This was the crux of his case about a tire failure that lead to a death. I have a couple cars that are 20 years old. I check the spares air pressure every once in awhile but I’ve never used them.

Need to have a full size spare for that. But to be green they made donuts.

Also them being cheap. They don't include spare tires at all any more. Super cheap and super green, I guess.

If you're not driving a SUV, I don't see where you'd put it though. A full size spare would seriously impede my trunk, and I drive a sedan not a compact.

Not sure that the tire companies care about them Do they even sell replacements? Trunk is a lot less exposed to the elements and I wonder if this isn't a little bit of clickbait bullshit.
