Unfortunately the spare is the original Pilot Sport from 2002 (think it's directional?) - it's way too old to run on the car, but adequate as an emergency spare as it has bags of tread and no evidence of ageing. It will be as hard as nails and offer less grip, however. Better than a spacesaver but ideally the spare wants flogging on ebay as a nearly new tyre lol

If cost wasn't an issue I'd fit 4 new Super Sport and put the best of the 2 front tyres as the spare and keep/sell the other, binning the 11 year old tyre and the 2 worn out rears.

I haven't been able to find prices lower than £260 per tyre yet.....
