Snow and Ice Tire as Spare?

I'm shopping for a tire for a spare. I found a 145/65-15 that should fit my Fuchs and fit in the frunk. It's a Yokohama Iceguard Ice and Snow tire. Is there and reason not to use this as a spare? I'm sure it will be noisy as hell, but hopefully it will never be used.

Thoughts?

Can’t be any worse than an antique stock inflatable, or one of the donuts. After all it’s just to hold up the front of the car until the”real” rubber is replaced or repaired. Seems a viable concept to me.

Can’t think of a downside. Should be fine.
