We're driving a Honda Element with a spare tire that causes the vehicle to veer to the left.
Considering that it's in the above condition, can it still haul a 250 lb. Hammond organ?
On the freeway?
What's the penalty to my skill test?

If it's an undersized spare, as is routine these days, I wouldn't use it to drive farther on or off the freeway than needed to get you to somewhere you can replace the original tire. I wouldn't carry cargo nor do any unnecessary driving until that tire has been replaced, those undersized spares are for emergency use only and are not meant to be long-term replacements.

Now all I gotta do is tell my crazy friends that.

I'd say thats a -2 on a standard D6 test.

The general rule is 80/80. That is 80 km at 80 km/h. For Yanks, it's 50/50 or 50 miles at 50 mph. Then the tire is considered beyond it usefulness. There shouldn't be a problem hauling a small load like 250lb, control issues aside. I wouldn't worry if the driver is reasonably skilled, but only in an emergency. These tires are meant as a stop-gap measure.
