Had sidewall tire damage twice. Once in the middle of Idaho and once in the middle of So.Cal. In both cases we could not get a new tire until 1-2 days out. Even as a normal tire it could not be repaired. A run flat tire or donut tire would have been no help because the tire was toast but even if not once damaged one should only drive ~50 miles at not more than ~50 mph. That is fine if yer in the city but when hundreds of miles between towns or from home that is a PITA.
As such, neither a spare donut or run flats are in order. Carry a real spare.
