i changed the punctured tire and now will be using the spare one for sometime as all the 4 are due for a change am i risking anything if i use spare for some time?

You are not risking anything in using spare tire.

Thats what it is made for, but rem until you get punctured tire fixed you are driving without spare and like you said all tires were worn out so your chances of getting stuck somewhere is more high.

Get all tires change sooner than latter as tire is the very important part of any car and with present Dubai heat is even more killing for tire rubber to sustain.

Also take in consideration that maybe the spare has not been used for a long time and the rubber maybe too dry and with cracks and this can cause it to burst!!

I drove a friend's car that had been parked for a few months from Dubai to Sharjah and one of the tyres started to loose bits of rubber to a point that when we got to Sharjah the metal ply could already be seen!! He got 4 hankook tyres for 2000AED in one of the tyre shops in BMW road.
