Agreed, the spare should be to get you out of a jam short term - not swap and forget.

Opinions vary (especially on FWD cars), but the safety advice would be put the new pair on the rear - if you have a traction differential you want the most grip at the back, as if the tyres break traction on the front you will understeer, which is easier to recover for most drivers than the rear braking traction and going backwards through a hedge
