Nothing I have ever driven has had one...
Maybe a rent car. Not sure, but I didn't need it.

About 5 miles @ 55 , only then because the real tire couldn't be pumped up , it was damaged beyond repair. 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.

I don't eat them KKs very often so I guess I will die a slow , agonizing death. Maybe I should eat them more often & get it over with ? Mike

Aren't those donut tires smaller in diameter than what comes on the car? Wouldn't they screw up an all wheel drive or posi differential?
My other auto is a .45

Always in back.

never had a vehicle with a donut spare, if I had, I'd buy a regular wheel and tire then find somewhere on that vehicle to stow it, same/same for the boygeorge scissor jacks, in the trash pile, a good bottle jack, with a block of wood and a 4-way lugwrench.

Blew the whole tread off a 10 ply on a duramax. Run on the hull from Freer to George West. Took it easy did not want to unload the truck to change a tire. Hasbeen

My van has a donut. In 150k miles, I've never needed the spare. 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.

Shipley’s makes some good doughnuts. I don’t have to roll to far to get some. We have one in town now.

No donut for me. Much easier to call that 800 number on my AAA card than mess up a differential. 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.

But a full sized tire won't fit in the spare compartment on many cars.
