Run the two spares until all is worn out then replace with equal of your choice.
On my wife's 99 Durango the Good Year Wranglers held up very well except after 11 years they were very Hard to the point that I felt unsafe for her in wet/snowy weather.
They still had 50% tread left at 044,000 mi.
I replaced all four with new GY Wranglers last summer.
Check your spare for what appears to be harden rubber.
Her vehicle always sit's in the Garage so I would think the same conditions for your spares in the well area.
