Or, if you can find a worn tire with decent carcass, use it for the 
spare. As long as it holds air and will get you a few hundred miles, it 
would be good enough.
Of course it won't handle and stop the same as a good tire - so what? If 
you're running a spare, you can take it easy for a ways until you get a 
good replacement.
