If you travel long distances on the Interstate, you'll want a full size spare

Mentioned this before. If you are "lucky" enough to drive a Subaru AWD, odds are you may be changing two tires.

Manual says included compact spare may only be used on right rear wheel and for no more than 50 mph at no more than 50 miles.

Would a full-sized spare face the same restrictions. Maybe so as tread depth would be off?

The 50mph for 50 miles is the stated limit for all temporary spares; even applies to full size ones.

For no limits, get a fifth wheel and set of five tires. Then do 5 wheel rotations.

 

No thankyou. Have enough mouse homes around here.

 

It seems if say a front tire gets flat the spare has to be put on the front, then the good right rear is taken off and the flat tire from the front put on the right rear, then the spare on front is taken off and replaced by the good rear tire, then finally the right rear flat tire can be swapped for the spare, and all is done with the one jack the car comes with. I guess that’s what they want.

 

Might also have to pull the AWD fuse.

 

VERY least.
