Default Spare tire ???

I am bringing the spare to the front and replacing one other tire because I hit a pot hole.

My Question is do I need to have the rebalanced?

Default Normally no. Each tire is independently balanced and should work fine on any of the four corners.

But if you KNOW your spare isn't balanced, you should have it balanced. I can't believe they wouldn't balance teh spare...

Default Kind of on the same subject (sorta noobish)

Have those of you who've gone to 235/35-19's with a wheel upgrade also done the spare or have you just said "hell, the spare's only gonna be on 'til I get the regular tire repaired or replaced".
