The useful range for donut spares is no greater than RFTs, about 80 km or 50 miles. Both donuts and deflated RFTs are limited in maximum speed as well, to 80 kph or 50 mph. Given these significant limitations, I always carry a real spare tire/wheel for long distance trips, together with a BMW Mobility kit and a tire jacking kit.
Being stuck with a flat tire in the mountains, 200 kms or 120 miles from the nearest garage, has taught me to "be prepared" by carrying a real spare tire !
