First is the alert. The most common problem is that 1 or more tires may have low tire pressure. Also if the light blinks before staying on, this indicates that a sensor is probably faulty. This light does not blink. The tires are properly inflated. The next thing to do is to reset the system. I have not done this before, nor do I know how to do this. I will try my best to learn this before the Auction ends. Next let me give you the tires Birthday information. When reading the date serial number you will see, ( 3620 ) this translates to the tires being 4 years and 8 months old. Hankook has a 6 year warranty, which is also the predicted tire life. Major Tire Brands have agreed on the life of there tires. The range is between 6 to 10 years depending on the Brand. I hope that you find these answers helpful.\r\nThank you, Michael", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1747702396, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 17703020, "authorName": "CARBUCKS (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/carbucks/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Royal, Hello again you mentioned the spare tire.

Unfortunately I do not have specific information to explain that. However after studying the CARFAX, it appears that a comprehensive maintenance routine had been followed. This started at purchase and continued until 93,752 miles. Those details can be seen in the CARFAX. Next the purchasing Dealer added 664 miles. This is not uncommon, making the mileage is 94,416. The new owner # 3 Is a Pa. New Car Dealer, the Subaru is given a full service and Pa State Inspection. Now this car is as good as it gets. It appears at that point the Dealer held the car in his inventory. It was driven approximately 2000 or so miles. Next it is offered for sale with 96,634. My guess is that any needed service was down at the Dealership, with no invoice generated. The 4th owner is me. I have personally driven the car about 100 miles. Even in the RAIN, exhibiting excellent road manners even under less than perfect conditions. As advertised. I hope that this over detailed response has helped to answer your question.
