By donut tire, do you mean one of those cheap spares now provided by car makers as standard equipment instead of a real fifth tire. Those cheapies are supposed to be good for about fifty miles at 50mph. The two times I had to use one, I got the real tire fixed asap.
Now when I buy a new car, I pay extra to have a real fifth tire included.
The smaller dimension of the donut spare tire requires more inflation than a standard tire. The correct amount of inflation for a donut spare is 60psi.
You may be able to get a donut from Saturn of Tampa, or you could possibly get a donut from a used tire store.
Know that most all trailer tires, with an "ST" before the tire size, are rated for max. 65 MPH. While you won't get a speeding ticket for going 70 on a freeway driving a vehicle towing a trailer ... you are risking tire failure.
No, it is a temporary "donut" tire.
Not only are they legal, but sometimes required and you might get a ticket if you are driving without them.
Low tire wear Us old time Mechanics used to call them "maypops" or "slicks" or "ticket tires" (you can get a ticket for driving on unsafe tires) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ old mans good

Its recommended for your donut spare to be ran 50 miles. Donut spares can be driven passed that limit but it can lead to unsafe driving conditions or there may be a possibility of suspension components breaking and/or not working properly.

It is a temporary "donut".
The tire, the air-filled rubber donut that meets the ground, is mounted on the rim.
The tire is stored in the trunk. If you do not have one, check local salvage yards.
