Regarding my new OBW...The dealer was telling me something about if I have a blowout I would need to replace all the tires during that time. Could someone please explain the tire situation to me regarding needing all the same tread depth or something to that nature...Is there any truth to that? I am also thinking about buying a full-size spare...good idea?

Hi all! I just wanted to briefly say hello and tell everyone that I am now the proud owner of an '05 Subaru Outback Limited wagon. I just purchased it a few days ago and so far...love it. It has the 2.5 engine (non-turbo). Accessories: Yakima roof basket bike rack Rubber floor mats Subwoofer (in the car when I bought it) Rear cargo mat I am getting the windows tinted tomorrow. The dealer claims that the '05 is a redesigned Outback. Since I have never owned a Subaru before, what is different from the '04 or earlier? I am now in the process of reading the owner's manual and looking at the required service(s). Any tips from veteran Subaru owners would be much appreciated... I come from many years of owning Nissans and now need an AWD vehicle where I live (why I bought the OBW). btw...someone please explain the tire situation to me regarding needing all the same tread depth or something to that nature... Anyway...thanks and look forward to conversing in the future. UofRSpider 'Go Spiders!'
