is 11 y/o original spare still a spare?
or do most replace w/ new tire w/ each new set of tires?

11-YOA is no good. Probably worse unused for the 11 then put on the road, than if it'd been run some.
I've only bought new tires twice, in both cases bought seven, and rotated the spare with the two fronts. That way I get some use out of the spare, possibly even up the tire wear, and don't have issues around the custom valve stems on the rears.
Ford doesn't recommend rotation of the rear duals.
EDIT: Oh, the spare I recently replaced had never seen pavement. 12-YOA and still had mold marks on the tread.
