Another reason why the Subaru Crosstrek and the Subaru Impreza have a long list of differences. My experience was with a three-inch nail that went through the tread and the sidewall. There is no 'repair' for this situation even with a tire pump in the back. Luckily I noticed the psi differences before leaving that morning and could take a backup vehicle. The other lucky thing was that my Subaru only had about twelve thousand miles on it. The replacement tire was close enough to the tread depth differential that I installed the new tire on the rear position as if I had just performed a tire rotation. The same wheel has now been rotated several more times since then. I installed my temporary spare tire and drove the vehicle to the tire shop to have the finishing installation touches performed. The only thing I cannot do at home is balance the wheel properly. Any difference in tread depth over 2/32" to 3/32" would possibly force the replacement of all of the tires.
This is just one more reason to research everything before buying a new vehicle. My '21 Crosstrek Limited does not have Dual X Mode. I bring this up because the '21 was a transitional year where only the Sport had that feature. Many articles written include the Limited with Dual X Mode but that is not the case for the '21.
