Subaru Forester Spare Tire

The Subaru Forester, in accordance with its commitment to safety and convenience for drivers, includes a spare tire in all of its models. The standard spare tire for the Subaru Forester is a Temporary-use T-type spare tire, also known as a "doughnut" due to its smaller size and narrower width compared to regular tires. The general size for this spare tire is T145/80D17, which means it has a width of 145mm, an aspect ratio (relation of the tire ' s width to its height) of 80% and a diameter of 17 inches. However, it's important for owners to verify this information with their vehicle manual or car dealer as exact specifications may vary depending on the model and year of production. This spare tire is designed for temporary and limited use only, typically not exceeding speeds of 50mph and to be driven for a maximum of 50-70 miles until a permanent tire replacement can be acquired.

Subaru Forester models manufactured from 1998 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 26.1" to 28.3", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Subaru Forester years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Subaru Forester vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.3" to 29.1".
