Generally, the temporary use tire, or "donut" as it is referred to, is meant to be used for up to 30 miles. I have seen cases where it is used much longer than that. Some will leave them on for weeks and seem to get by with it. I wouldn't advise doing that. Use it until the flat can be repaired or a replacement tire obtained.

I would not give you an exact number, and I'm pretty sure it will last much more than 100 miles. However, it is very unsafe to drive on such a tire, especially on higher speeds, so you want to replace it ASAP to regain full control over your vehicle, and you want to drive really slow untill you replace it.

Extremely short distance if it's one of those undersized things they call a tire. You have to go slow too- wobbly ride. Around the corner to the garage for another tire, or repair the old.

Very. They are intended only for use to the nearest station to get another or a repair. But I have heard of many goign 100 miles on one. Sometimes you ahev to go that far to get to be able to replace blown out one lol

They are only meant to be used for a few miles/enough to get you home or to the nearest Garage for replacement.
And not supposed to travel above 50mph etc

You should have your regular tire replaced or repaired and back on within a day or two. depending on how far you drive.
