Is it ok do do the Brownie run on the spare tyre?

So, the potholes have claimed another vulcanised victim. I have driven home on the spare tyre, and now wondering if it is safe to take DD to Brownies tonight.

The Guide hut is 5 miles away, so 20 miles all told.

Will it damage the car?
If I drive carefully is it safe?

Need to decide by 5.30!

Should add, it's one of those puny spares but was fitted by a profesional tyre-fitting bloke.

Wouldn't risk it, the space saver tyres are only realy designed to get you off the road and to a garage

Thank you scurryfunge!

That's what I needed to know!
(And wanted to hear tbh )
