No reason that I can think of, not as long as the old one your putting on for the spare is still in usable shape

I don''t see a reason why not...just make sure the spare is in good shape...I actually did this with mine, I had got a puncture in one of my tires so I had it plugged and then moved over to the spare. I put the spare where the tire with the puncture was in its place and have had no problems. If it looks crappy just put a spare tire cover over it, esp if they the 32'''' tires, I had to get one for my 33''''s and luckily found one of the hard plastic/soft sided ones on ebay used for about 32 bux, which I felt was a steal.

thanks,, it has never been used, I have 65,000 miles on my H3 , never had a flat, or anything,

still have original Bridgstone Dueller AT rh+S with at least 1/2 inch tread ,,i am sort of amazed how long they have lasted, so i am getting the same thing.

My only thought was age of tire and rubber issues, but they are onyl 3 yrs old.

You''ll be fine, save your best tire for the spare.
