Subaru Forester: Connecting a trailer / Tires
WARNING
Never tow a trailer when the temporary
spare tire is used. The temporary
spare tire is not designed to sustain
the towing load. Use of the temporary
spare tire when towing can result
in failure of the spare tire and/or less
stability of the vehicle.
Make sure that all the tires on your vehicle
are properly inflated. Refer to “Tires”.
Trailer tire condition, size, load rating and
proper inflation pressure should be in
accordance with the trailer manufacturer’s
specifications. Also check federal, state,
province and/or other applicable regulations.
In the event your vehicle gets a flat tire
when towing a trailer, ask a commercial
road service representative or professional
to repair the flat tire.
If you carry a regular size spare tire in your
vehicle or trailer as a precaution against
getting a flat tire, be sure that the spare tire
is firmly secured.
