#64 of 64 swap the tires by kurtamaxxxguy Dec 15, 2008 (11:18 am)
For those getting '09 Outbacks, and are driving in winter weather, consider ditching the stock Bridgstones for Nokian tires. I've had many a comparison between '09 Forester and Outbacks, and found that the Outbacks had harsher ride on small, strong bumps than the Forester did, especially after the Forester got outfitted with WR or WRG2 Nokian tires. Most likely the Outback's ride will improve, and the snow traction will vastly improve, with the Nokians.
