My donut spare exploded in the trunk, unused. The original donut spare was a FireBomb (Firestone) and exploded after about 5 years of sitting in the trunk unused, it blew a 4" hole right out through the tread. Like most people, I replaced it with a standard steel wheel and Khumo performance tire from Tirerack.com, total cost was under $200. Now I can use the spare if I want to with no speed or mileage restrictions and it's not going to explode on me. The spare is the same size as all the stock aluminum rims on the car now.
