One of the tire companies had a team compete in Car and Driver's One Lap of America in a Corvette with one tire as a compact spare just to prove how durable they are.

I think they "limit" the speed and range on them because no one ever checks them to see if they're properly inflated.

They might last longer than 50 miles but they suck to try to drive with, especially if it’s on a front wheel trying to make a turn with that thing on the outside is a nightmare. They’re just a stupid idea and in a just world the guy that had it would have been laughed out of the industry.

fixed it for ya.. I see lots of people rolling the flat spare. I guess they put it on, realize it's flat and say eff it and drive off.
