#90 of 94 Re: Excessive tire wear on a 2005 Legacy Outback [nornet] by jfl Dec 17, 2008 (1:10 pm)
Replying to: nornet (Dec 17, 2008 7:50 am) I set my tires at +4 psi above Subaru specs. (On my 2000 Legacy that's 36F and 34R.) Any higher than that and I feel the rear end bounces around too much on bumpy roads.   I've gone thru two sets of RE-92s and I'm on my second set of Conti Extreme Contacts and will probably go with a third set when these need replacing. I always get an alignment after new tires are installed. Replies to this message: herzzz (Dec 29, 2008 9:56 am)
#91 of 94 195/65/14 replacing stock 185/70 ? by ClaytonRoy Dec 20, 2008 (7:35 pm)
Curious if anyone else has experience with a "plus zero" conversion on the stock 14" Legacy steel rims. I'm looking at a set of General Altimax RT's....and thinking I mine as well go slightly wider while I'm at it. I suspect the small addition of 5mm each side wouldn't be a clearance risk.   Thank you for your comments Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 20, 2008 9:27 pm) ClaytonRoy (Dec 22, 2008 3:11 am)

Replying to: ClaytonRoy (Dec 20, 2008 7:35 pm) I think you'll be ok. On my 94 Legacy we used to run 215 or 225-50-16s on it!   -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor Replies to this message: ClaytonRoy (Dec 22, 2008 3:11 am)

Replying to: jfl (Dec 17, 2008 1:10 pm) I have a '05 Outback 2.5i and have also experienced outside edge rear-wheel tire wear but have what I think is a related problem that has bothered me a bit. The rear end of my car is really loud. I am sure the problem is behind the transmission because the noise is constant thru gear changes. I had the car realigned the last time I purchased new tires but I am sure it was before the aformentioned service bulletin was released. Anyone with similar noise problems?
