Nokia Mini-Spare Tire Losing 40 psi/year

Well, I don't know the actual leakage rate, but it was 60 psi when I filled it up about a year ago, and now it is down to ~20 psi. Is this normal/not unusual for a 10 year old mini-spare?
60 psi sounds quite high. Is there any danger that this thing could explode in its old age, killing the inflator?
By the way, T115/70R16 comes out to 22.338583 inches (567.4 mm) diameter. The stock size 205/60-15 comes out to 24.685039” (627 mm) diameter. So the spare tire is 2.35 in (59.6 mm) or 9.5% smaller in diameter. I guess that is harmless, at least up to the 50 mph recommended limit, and suggests that it isn't so critical/important to have the tires be exactly the same.
Is this Nokia ("Made in Finland" it says on the tire) that made the mini-spare the same as Nokian that makes the tires that some people are talking about nowadays?
