Seeing how cars started using spares less then 100 years ago, we Americans started using the shorter term donut because we're so lazy. But since a spare is not a food it could be donut. Both were originally meant in there beginning for the food so both are technically wrong. Since doughnut was here first, and meant for food, I guess donut makes the most sence to use for the spare tire.
