If you're stuck on the shoulder with a flat tire, your trunk has to have two things: a way to lift the car and a usable spare to bolt on. A lot of vehicles only have one of these, or the original parts have gone missing over the years. That's the decision this head-to-head is built around: a Subaru Emergency Spare Tire Jack Assy OEM W/Tools & Lug Wrench versus a BRAND NEW | 2003-2019 TOYOTA COROLLA EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE, T135/80R16 101M, OEM. One is a jack and tool kit; the other is a mounted spare tire. Your pick depends on which gap you're filling in your emergency tire setup.
Quick Verdict
If your car already has a spare tire but no jack or lug wrench, the Subaru jack kit is the more practical buy at $86.59. If the spare tire itself is missing or not usable, the Toyota Corolla spare tire at $139.50 is the direct replacement, and it comes with the rim attached.

Product Notes
Subaru Emergency Spare Tire Jack Assy OEM W/Tools & Lug Wrench
This used scissor jack kit gives you the lifting tools your trunk is missing. It was pulled from a 2011 Outback AWD, and the listing says it should fit Crosstrek, Outback, and Legacy models. Along with the jack, you get a wheel wrench, so it's a complete lifting setup for someone who already has a spare tire. The obvious limitation is that it's a used part, and the seller makes it clear that the buyer is responsible for confirming fitment before ordering. That means you'll want to double-check that the jack matches your Subaru's lifting points. If it fits, this is a practical way to fill the gap in your emergency tire equipment without taking on the cost of a full new kit.
BRAND NEW | 2003-2019 TOYOTA COROLLA EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE, T135/80R16 101M, OEM
This is the replacement spare for a Corolla that has lost its original donut. You're getting a tire mounted on a rim, described as new other because it has never been used and still has 100% tread. The tire holds air as it should, so it's ready for your trunk. The size is clearly listed as T135/80R16 101M, and the seller advises checking your existing spare for a size match because not every Corolla in the 2003-2019 range uses this exact tire. If the size lines up with your car, this gives you a complete mounted spare that can get you to a shop after a flat. The limitation is that it's Corolla-specific, so it won't be the right pick for most non-Toyota drivers.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Subaru jack kit if your vehicle already has a usable spare and you just need a way to lift the car. The included wheel wrench makes it a ready-to-use kit for compatible Subaru models.
Choose the Toyota Corolla spare tire if you drive a 2003-2019 Corolla and need a mounted replacement spare. It's unused, holds air, and matches the T135/80R16 size if your original spare uses that dimension.
If you need both pieces, they solve separate problems: the Subaru kit gets the car off the ground, and the Toyota tire gives you a rolling spare. Together they cover the two essentials for dealing with a flat on the road.
