His car was registered in July 2008, hence the spare tyre is still new and safe to use.
However, if his spare tyre has been sitting in the boot for several years and constantly exposed to the built up heat in the boot, then I would not advise him to swop with his punctured tyre with the spare tyre.
What are your thoughts on this?
Do you have a different view?

Again curious are you old enough to drive or just a kid hide behind the monitor as a phantom web surfer having fun as a PCW. Do you really have knowledge of cars ?
To answer your question, spare tyre regardless of age is not meant for normal usage, it just an aid for you to get to the nearest tyre shop to repair your normal tyre, that how the spare tyre come about ?
Now quit spouting about the tyre exposing to heat and so fore, build up your knowledge before getting members here who are actually drivers to get hurt with your comments. Wake up kid. Sorry for being straight.

Alex,
There are 2 types of spare tyres.
Spare tyres can be full-size or temporary space saver 'mini spares'.
'Mini spares' are designed to take up less room in your vehicle and to get you to the nearesr tyre shop, but not to be driven on for long periods.
Latio comes with full size Toyo J50 185/65R15 spare tyres which are identical to the 4 tyres fitted on the Latio.

Totally agreed with Clarence on this. My first car, Altis, has a spare tyre tat was identical to the 4 tyres fitted and at 10k servicing...did rotation with the spare tyre so tat the wearing is even. The same happened when I drove a Ford Focus statonwagon when in europe. But when I was in another europe country, my Mazda 3 was having a smaller spare tyre....
