As others have said, rent a car or buy a bus pass. Too much chance of damaging the spare donut; they aren't made for long term use. And who wants to look like a dork just to save a few dollars?

Read the tire, as long as you keep proper PSI in all tires & dont over speed you can drive it.

Or even better when I worked at an airport I borrowed spacesavers out of some rental cars, you would not believe the burnouts you can do with spacesavers!!

Is anyone reading the original post?
Op said he's not driving it for that week, so what's with all the bus pass responses?

I second the notion to jack the car and leave it, or find someone who has a set of stock wheels that they will lend for you

If your not going to drive it, the car and the spares will be fine...

But right now I'm sure at your local auto parts store or Sears, there is a holiday special on 4 jack stands...

4 of these Yellow beauties will due the trick if you have ZERO plans to drive in that week..

Thanks for the clarification, disregard the bus pass response.

But a mountain bike is good exercise.

It's amazing how many people don't read the thread before offering their two cents.

I think it would be fine sitting in your garage on four yellow donuts. I'm assuming you have a spare car to drive for that week so you wouldn't have to drive the IS on Yellow 14's even in an emergency.
