Spares are intended to get to the nearest place to repair your tire or get a new one. the max speed on most spare tires are about 50-55 mph. The tire is also very this and affects handling at high speeds (55mph). I would get a steely and drive home on that.

If you have no choice, put the donut on one of the back wheels (if not already). Stay over in the slow lane and go as slow as possible without causing a major slowdown or accidents. Good luck.
