I got a nasty nail in my tire and it cant be patched, so I need to have it replaced. How long can I safely drive on the full size spare and stock steel rim?

I have a replacement plan with the dealer but it's going to be a couple days before they can get to it. Am I good to get back and forth to work?

Yes, that's not a donut but, like you said, a full size tire. You could drive on that until you needed new tread if you wanted too.

As long as the spare is the same size as the mains and your axles are free to differentiate if not.
