A tire that split from age should have obvious signs of age elsewhere.
Otherwise, I'd suspect FOD before age related damage.
Four years isn't that old for a tire, and I've seen some much older in good shape.
But yeah, anything that fits the DOT definition of a car should be required to have a spare.
Additionally, I'd want it to be an inflated spare, not something relying on a bottle to be inflated.
Where I drunk with power, it would be a full-size matched spare, good everywhere.
