Default Yes, but it's a right hand tire...

The RE040 tires are unidirectional; the spare's rotational direction is for the right side of the car. No harm if you run temporarily on the left if you get a flat, but the handling will be screwed up if you push the car hard with the spare on either of the left side spots.

Can you reverse the orientation of the tire versus the wheel and be OK?
