If it's a temporary or "donut" spare, it's supposed to get you off the highway and to the nearest service station. And you're not supposed to exceed 50 mph limping there. Those small, cheap spare tires aren't designed to withstand the heat and loading of normal driving -- or even less-than-normal driving for extended periods.
