In 2023 I leased a Subaru Impreza base model for 3 years and found Subaru no longer includes a spare tire, and only has a kit.  This means paying to be towed to a service center when I could have a spare tire loaded by AAA.   I bought myself a spare Firestone P225/40 R16 in event I needed it.  2025 State inspection found that all four tires had treads worn and I needed to get the tires replaced under warranty which Subaru did for me.   2026, I went to renew my lease and thee base model is no longer sold. A wider R18 trim car is sold, with a minimum $70 higher paying lease, and still no spare included.  The dealer will not swap tires for me, despite doing so under warranty when the inspection failed.    I'm concerned if I do get a flat, I'll be forced to pay towing and wait for ordering tires just for one flat.    As a safety issue, all cars need spare tires, not kits.   Subaru has stopped offer that safety feature.   Waiting for a tow in the middle of the night makes driving risky with potential running into deer and animals to total my car.    If a spare was available, I wouldn't have that risk. I'd just need to replace the tire.  Please convince Subaru to replace the tire I bought with one that will fit my renewed lease car as a safety recall issue.   They should offer spares for all cars.  No accident has happened yet.  I want to be ready in case I do get a flat.
