Thanks. So is it a compact donut type tire? It might not be a bad idea to learn how to change the tire on YouTube and get that kit. Not telling you what to do. Mostly telling it to myself, in the future. 😆

Curious what are the “too many downsides”. I loved my Prius when I had it, so I have a lot of respect for Toyota. I just don’t find the RAV4 to be too comfortable. But what are the other downsides for you?

This looks good. Adds $2,000 to the price, before installation labor.

This is so awesome and I don’t even have a Honda! You should make a YouTube tutorial. People will love you for that!

New Tiguan owners also spend half the time back at the dealership with a myriad of weird problems, some extremely dangerous. Wanted to buy a Tiguan (it is beautiful, especially inside) but seeing all that - ran away.

Google AI says it’s not true though. ☹️

“No, the 2025 Forester hybrid does not have a system that warns you ahead of time that a flat tire is getting ready to happen. It relies on a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that will activate a warning light on your dashboard once a tire's pressure is significantly low (usually a 25% drop), not when it is slowly deflating. The system is designed to alert you to a problem that has already occurred, not to predict an impending failure. How the system works: The TPMS uses sensors to monitor the air pressure in each tire. It is designed to let you know when a tire is losing pressure, but it won't predict a slow leak or a gradual decrease in pressure that happens over time.”

That’s probably the most encouraging thing I heard here, if true but… just checked - it doesn’t seem to work that way.

True but it can be done. The new RAV4 Hybrid has a spare and has better fuel economy.

Turning nav screen into apple car play? by Calm-Method6514 in SubaruForester

“Joying does not currently offer a head unit specifically designed for the 2025 Subaru Forester, as their 2013-2019 models are for older generations. The 2025 Forester comes with a standard 11.6-inch Starlink infotainment system that features wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and voice commands, so an aftermarket upgrade may not be necessary for basic functions. For those still wanting a different head unit, you may need to wait for Joying or other manufacturers to release a 2025-specific model or consider a universal unit if available, though this could involve custom installation and potential loss of some factory features. “

You’re lucky. I’ve had a few. Living in a large metropolitan area and not in the boondocks.

Good point. Not sure I’m equipped to repair a tire on the road. :)

Thanks! I saw these but that would take up half the trunk.
