undersize spare as in space saver? there only to get you out of trouble ie to garage, yes tow but not far

No...no....no..!
All wheels and tyres must be the same size.........using anything else on yer hippo will make yer drivetrain go bang big time and leave you with a very expensive bill.
And if you ever fit new tyres these must always go on the rear.

And rotate them! You're spare shouldn't be fresh - it should have the same wear as the others, moving them from hub to hub every few k ensures this.
