My understanding is you definitely should not put a regular tire on the donut rim.

Rim width of the donut rim is much smaller than standard rim and is not appropriate for the regular tire. I think you'll have to go with the donut until you get your hands on a regular rim for your full-size spare. Carry 2 donuts if you can't find a real rim. Donuts are plentiful at the junkyards, and steelies should be available if you have any yards near you at all.

For what it's worth, the Volvo donut seems beefier than most. I still prefer a real tire on a real rim, and that's what we use on our 240s, but that donut doesn't look tooooo bad.
