they are only designed to drive to the nearest place to get your other tyre fixed. You'd be right in the sh.... if you had another flat and no spare.

It is recommended that you drive no farther than about 50 miles on a "donut" tire (non-full sized spare) as they are not made for permanent usage. It is also recommended that you not go faster than 45 to 50 mph on them. So they are really only for emergency use to get you to a place where you can get your regular sized tire repaired or replaced.

I have known people to get away with it for a week or two, but owner's manuals say not to drive very fast and to get it off the car as soon as you can. They are emergency spares, not intended to be used except for brief periods, very low mileage and speed.

spare wheels are only ment to be on the car till you get somewhere safe. So basically get the tire fixed right away.
Mostyly because its not ment for high speeds.

It is honestly designed to get you to the nearest gas station. You shouldn't really drive it like a real tire. Keep it to 100 miles

They are rates at 45 miles per hour. They are designed to get you on the road again but for you to take it to get your bad tire fixed. They are not designed for daily commuting

Generally, no more than 50 miles and no faster than 50 miles per hour.

I don't feel safe using those little ones. I always try to get it fixed as soon as possible. I know there is a speed limit you aren't supposed to go over with them. I have never seen a time limit, though.
