I have never used the spare tire on my 03 HL and I am ready for a set of tires. My question is, can I buy three new Integtity tires and use my spare as the fourth tire? I am concerned about deterioration of the spare over the last five years. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the input, gives me a lot to think about. I will probably keep the spare where it is and buy 4 new tires. Any suggestions on tire selection. I live in the low desert of So Cal where the average summer temp is 106 degrees and we see rain maybe twice a year. Thanks again.
