Driving on the spare..........
I know I shouldn't break 50 MPH, but since the spare is the same height as the others, how exactly does it hurt it?
and yes I'll be getting my new one in a few days

A spare tire lacks the internal reinforcements of a normal tire. It is designed to allow you to get to a service station, no more.
Analogy --->> A B16A engine has a redline of 8000rpm....so what's the harm of running my SOHC 1.6L to 8000rpm too??? They're the same size overall. Answer, internal components. The SOHC doesn't have the valve-train for those engine speeds. Just like a spare tire doesn't have the internal components to safely carry more than 50mph.
