2001 Subaru Outback Spare Tire

The Subaru Outback comes equipped with a temporary spare tire, often referred to as a "doughnut," which is stored in the vehicle's underfloor storage compartment in the back. This spare tire is not intended to match the regular tires in terms of size or performance, but to provide a temporary solution for reaching a safe location or tire repair shop in case of a tire emergency. The exact size can vary depending on the model and year of the Outback, but typically, it is smaller than the regular tires. For example, the 2020 Subaru Outback uses a T145/80D17 temporary spare tire. It's significant to note that the Outback's spare tire should only be used in emergencies and replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible, as it is not designed for extensive driving or high speeds.

2001 Subaru Outback comes with 2 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Subaru dealership to confirm the correct 2001 Subaru Outback spare tire size.
