You could finish your trip and not even have to worry about keeping the speed at the rated donut speed.

If someone can confirm this is the case, then this is what I might do.

THANKS in advance for your advice and sorry to be silly, but I just don't quite understand tires yet........

What ever tire you run... you want to make sure that the overall tire diameter (ie the tires hight) is the same as the OE tires. This is especially even more important when a car has a LSD like the 1M does!

IF your mini spare tire was substantially shorter (less dia) than the other "good tire" your diff's friction disc's might burn up bc it constantly has to slip to keep up.
