I bookmarked a site a couple of years ago that showed how to convert your donut spare into a rock polisher.

Fortunately (for me), I had the good luck to lose the bookmark.

There must be some other uses for the things - off-road soapbox derby racer tires?

Not to worry, Steve, I saved the pic! Here it is in action.

My wife will kill me. The shed is full of junk like that.

Anyone need a 15"x6" steelie? Though I might use it myself if I ever get another Subie with a 15" OE rim and a donut.

Turn them into furniture. Get a circular glass top, add legs, and—bingo small tables for your patio!

She'd kill me again.

Maybe I'll use it as a planter?

You know you're a redneck if...

As someone who has just gone through a flat tire trauma. All I can say is boy I'm glad my Forester has a full sized spare.

If I was buying a 2006 Forester I'd have the dealer throw in a full size one or no deal.

Sad thing is many customers won't know they have a donut until they are on the side of the road with a flat.

Bad move Subaru.

Just add $100 to the cost of the deal. No biggie. We all know it'll fit.

Well my 04 Forester had its 2nd flat only a month ago and it was certainly convenient that I had a full size spare to throw on. However.... having a place to store the cargo cover is equally important to me. I have a black lab who frequently goes for rides in the Forester and I usually fold the back seat down so he'll have more room. When I do that I have no place to store the cargo cover in the vehicle because the full-size spare prevents me from using the specially designed under floor storage compartment
