It was white knuckle for sure - esp after 11 hours of driving I was very ready to roll in the garage at midnight.
I do have a LSD, but the manual said the spare fits front or rear. It looks to be about the same diameter as the regular wheel - just very skinny. For some reason I felt better with it on the rear - any sudden loss of pressure or issue I think would be easier to control than if it failed on the front. At least that is what I told myself.
I googled temp spares when I stopped to eat - most websites say they are good for ~50 miles. I'd say Porsche far exceeded this even at 29 years old. Even now the tire looks fine.
Earlier in the day, a recommended side trip turned into another adventure down a one lane dirt road. It included a few first gear hill climbs. I was a Paris Dakar throwback in Arkansas - but at low speed. I had to get out and move a few rocks a couple of times.
Note - this was 600 miles from where the tire went flat in case you are wondering.
