I rode the donut to the tire shop & got a new tire. I don't like them donuts , at all. Real tires are full size. Real donuts come from Krispy Kreme & are made to be et , not rode on.

Wouldn't they screw up an all wheel drive or posi differential? My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

I do keep good tires on it but I've been very lucky to have never hit something in the road. If you do need one, put it on the non-powered end of the car so it won't screw up the differential. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.

That inflating attachment on my old scuba tank has come in real handy for a nail slow leak to get me or others to a tire shop to get a tire fixed property. Last year a sharp piece of concrete fell off a truck on I-65 in Indiana and four cars hit it, ours included. Luckily I swerved and got it with the back tire instead of the front. Blew out the tire and bent the rim up into the control arm. No way I was going to hang myself out next to the Interstate to change a wheel and tire. $500. wheel, $200. tire, tow and hotel over night made that an expensive chunk of concrete.
