I did find it useful once in a fog, but equally useless another time after having a blowout.
Long story short, I was driving home from camping; sick and tired. Spent 2 hours changing the tire after a blowout because the factory tire iron didn't fit the bolts. So I'm on 2 lane hwy and quickly find why they say not to exceed 80km/h on those temporary spare tires. At 95 km/h the tire was too hot to touch after stopping. So there I am doing 85 in a 100 zone on a 2 lane hwy the Monday of an August long weekend. I didn't dare drive onto the shoulder to let people pass as I wasn't sure how much of that rough road that tire could withstand.
