I looked eBay first, but the current for sale stuff could (would) not verify manufacture date or it was older. Date code on this one showed made in 2022.

I asked also and they would not look either. They told me to return it if it was too old. Dan

Some time ago, perhaps late last year, I was just poking around on youtube and saw that some guy replaced his spare with a brand new one.

As I recall, the tire manufacturer made it for him.

It was a fairly well known tire manufacturer, too.

I thought I'd bookmarked that video but I can't seem to find it, so maybe I didn't.
