#35 of 94 Re: Will a '98 Legacy L wagon accept Outback wheels [ateixeira] by steve_ HOST Sep 17, 2006 (6:13 pm)
Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 11, 2006 10:40 am) Any issue with taking some studded tires from my '97 Outback (205/15R70's) and moving them to a similar vintage Legacy? There didn't seem to be a whole lot of clearance with the M+S's on the Outback:   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   Steve, Host SUVs and Speed Shop Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 18, 2006 9:03 am) steve_ (Sep 18, 2006 1:45 pm) steve_ (Sep 19, 2006 8:51 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: steve_ (Sep 17, 2006 6:13 pm) There might be - the overall diamater of the tire is bigger, and the Legacy lacks the taller springs that the Outback has. You might get some rubbing in the wheel wells.   -juice Replies to this message: steve_ (Sep 18, 2006 1:45 pm) steve_ (Sep 19, 2006 8:51 pm) paisan (Sep 19, 2007 6:15 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Sep 18, 2006 1:45 pm) Turned out the tires were for his wife's car, which is a Legacy Outback. I decided to get rid of my studs/wheels and went back to the compact space (hoping the new Yoko's won't get a flat anytime soon). Replies to this message: paisan (Sep 19, 2007 6:15 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Sep 19, 2006 8:51 pm) You'd be suprised what a 98 Legacy will fit.   I've run some weird tires on my 94. In stock format I went from something like 195-60-15 to 215-45-16   Try em out and see if they fit, you'll know right away if they won't fit.   -mike

Replying to: paisan (Sep 14, 2007 3:00 pm) thanks for the info. I plan on buying in a month or so as the weather here is getting cold!
#41 of 94 Re: Tire choices in the snow [snowbelter] by conger14 Sep 20, 2007 (9:06 am)
Replying to: snowbelter (Sep 14, 2007 4:27 pm) We don't want to go with a snow tire as we feel the legacy does quite well with the AWD and a nice set of all seasons. Usually if its heavy snow, we don't travel but if the need arises, I'm comfortable in driving in all seasons. I had a set of continental contacts on my previous 04 WRX which I thought did very well against the OEM on those and living in NY my whole life, I'm comfortable with driving in snow. Granted the added traction would be great for studded snow tires, I just know I would have a hard time convincing my wallet. Replies to this message: paisan (Sep 21, 2007 5:42 pm)

Replying to: conger14 (Sep 20, 2007 9:06 am) I'd go for the Sumitomo HTR+ for an all-season tire. Also check out the Pirelli Sottozeros, they are great snowish-allseasonish tire.   -mike
#43 of 94 Studdable Snow Tires for 05 Outback by somainer Oct 13, 2007 (7:21 pm)
After looking at websites, I think TireRack's Winterforce M+S Studdable 215 60SR 16 may be the best buy for a winter studdable snow (Maine, icy roads, mountains, etc). I'm planning on buying steel wheels for the snows. Does anyone have experience with the Winterforce M+S on the Outback? Also, any suggestions about 215 vs. the original 225 size?
