That's part of the reason why space savers have 80kph speed limits and, from memory*, you are only supposed to use them for a max of 100km, and "replace with original tyre ASAP"
*I do not, & never have, owned a car with a space saver spare. As far as I am concerned that is enough to rule out buying a car. Fine if it stays in the city or VERY close, but if you are heading out at all or travveling between cities, you are very quickly past the point that the manual says you can't drive back on it.
