Unhappy Donut

Got a flat tire on Sunday, the hole was in the side wall so no patch. They didn't have the kind of tires my car came with (Dunlop SP20 FE) so they had to order one, while we're waiting for the new tire I've got the donut on. I just wanted to say I hate it. It's really noisy and it feels sticky, I can't coast as far with it. Anyone else who has had to use their dnut notice this? I can't wait to get my new tire... though I was reading some reviews of the stock tires online... all the reviews said in addition to being prone to skiding on corners and hydroplaning, they only last 20k miles and then gets holes in them (and wouldn't you know, I've got 20k miles on my car and my tire got a hole in it!). I'm starting to think I maybe should have gotten something else. Maybe some Bridgestone b381s?
