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.

just a quick question, radials don't work that way? Once the belt sets if you reverse it, won't it damage the tire?

You just add an extra tire to the rotation, while following the normal cycle, they all still go on the hub the same way and spin the same direction. One just rides as the spare until it goes back in rotation on the next oil change. I haven't had any issues.
