The thing I've noticed about the space saver spares; they can outperform the wider tires due in part to their compound. They are very soft and pliable. I'll have to check on my spares but I do believe that they are only a single radial ply on the tread as opposed to the double and even sometimes, triple ply of steel belts on other tires.
All the spares that I've personally ran, the tread only lasts for about 1000 miles and then it's gone.
