How long can you have the spare tire on for?

Hit a pothole a few months back on my stock rims. bent the inner lip. left it like that and it finally got a hairline crack. air leaks out of the tire every 48 hours, thats how i found out. put the spare on in the meanwhile while i get a new tire on there.

i have to wait till thurday though. think i'll be safe with the spare? used it once before for ~50 miles. already accumulated ~70 more mile on it since yesterday. expecting to put another 65 miles by thursday for a total of ~185miles on a "temporary spare tire".

am i fine? do i have to buy another spare since i've accumulated so many miles on it already?

You should be OK...keep your speed down on the highway though....like 60 or below.
