My spare in the 92 9 series once inflated to "spec" began to separate in the tread...whilst in the trunk! Folks, as a representative from the Tire Industry, I can tell you that's TOO DAMN LONG to count on ANY spare tire.
Since I run FWD rims on my DD with appropriate 25mm spacers, I just picked up a C series spare from a late 2000 vehicle. 17 inch rim which clears my brake upgrade..... and the Michelin tire still has vents on it (never seen pavement). I believe they charged me $12 from the local Pullapart. All that, and it fits nicely in the spare well. Junk those old spares!
