Well, if i knew the truck came with a spare thin tire, i would not have ordered the full size spare, $115 down the drain.

Ok, ca
Does the smaller full size spare at 39 lbs (compared to the not full size spare inflated to 60lbs) have the same rolling radius as the 4 "standard" size tires at 35 lbs? Also does the small size spare have 3/32" tread and the full size tire have 6/32" and the standard tire have 9/32"? Also notice the spare has 100 weight range instead of 102 but since they all are H speed rated you can drive FAST to the tire shop!
Oh boy tire size brain exercise!

im gonna hazard a guess that I don’t care how much inflated it is, it won’t grow 1.3” in height.
the last time I had to use a spare was on my jeep, and ran over a monster chunk of steel. Tire got replaced the next day and the spare went back to the spares spot.
5 tire rotations are a pain in the ass.
I just prefer to be able to get home safely/finish a trip if I need.
I’ll go as far as seeing if a TRULY full size spare can fit up under the bed.

The "full-sized spare" is 215/60R17 compared to 225/65R17 on the other 4 wheels of an XL.
That is messed up.

I owned a 2010 Forester bought new & it started to use oil about 75k miles. Blown head gasket. That engine had a timing belt so belt, tensioner, pulleys, water pump both head gaskets & $ 3500 later I had my fill of Subaru. Never again will I buy a boxer even in a Porcshe.
I wasn’t clear....many cars have the TPMS as an idiot light, but in the subaru it has a screen with the individual pressures listed...not simply a ”tire!“ icon.....has anyone seen if the maverick has the individual pressures in a menu or screen? It‘s nice to see if one tire is low and which one rather than manually checking the pressure to find the offending tire.All new cars, trucks, and SUVs have TPMS, ever since the TREAD Act was passed in 2008.But kudos to Subaru for doing the same thing everyone else is doing...
Thanks...

Mobil 1. That said Boxer engines have a tendency of failed head gaskets. The oil can't completely drain & just lays on the gasket. BMW / Honda motorcycles & Porcshe boxers ALL have this problem.
I had rear main seal leak on my camry with just 30k using mobil 1, never again, will be going Castrol edge with the Maverick and been using Pennzoil on the camry ever since that happened.

On a side note, the full sized spare is an Atlas Priva C/S at 215/60/r17. Not sure how that is considered full sized, but mine has been replaced with a true full sized spare now.

How can you have an AWD system with a spare that is over an inch shorter than the other 4. Using such a different tire size would be the biggest no-no with an AWD. Can someone confirm this is a FWD and not AWD?
