I recently replaced my tires and spare. I was faithful about checking the air in my spare but I had never removed it. When I did I discovered that the sliding bars that the spare sits on was wearing through the side walls of the tire. Glad I found this before I needed it. I attached a photo of the sidewall wear.

When I installed the new tire I used pool noodles between the tire and tubes to protect the sidewalls. I attached a photo of that setup.

Just a warning if you have the same slide out spare tire carrier to take out the tire and check it.
