My 2010 Forester Premium came with a donut sized spare. I heard its not good to drive AWD on a spare. So, I purchased a Full-size OEM rim with a Cooper tire off Craigslist that I use as my "spare". The Cooper (spare) is 7/32" tread. The tires on the vehicle are newer BF Goodrich Advantage Control with newer tread (9 or 10/32")
I don't rotate the spare because it is a different brand than what's installed. However, I heard its not good to drive on a tire that --although is the same size---has different tread and depth. So what's worse on the AWD? Driving on a small donut spare or full-spare (different tire/tread)?
BTW...the most driving would be getting to the garage....most 1-3 days worth.
