People get real busybody when they see me driving on a donut for two weeks. Like dude this is the tenth time I’ve done this with the same donut. Random shit can fail any time, I’m not falling for that particular paranoia.
You’re gonna kill yourself or someone else. Those donuts are meant for like 20 miles at low speeds. They’re awful and are a blowout waiting to happen. If they were meant to be driven on for long periods of time those are the type of tires we’d use because they’re cheaper than normal tires, but they’re not which is why you shouldn’t do dumb shit like run a donut for two weeks.
Consider getting a full size spare. Especially for older cars you can just pay a junkyard $30 for a wheel off a wreck (make sure it’s the same diameter as your four) and have the tire shop swap the best leftover onto it next time you get new fronts, old fronts swapped into the back and the old backs recycled…
