We have a 2012 Subaru Impreza that we purchased on May 27th, 2012. The car has 8500 miles on it and the tires are shot. We took the car to the dealership a few days ago (12-26-12) and the dealer agreed that the tires were very worn and didn't wear well, however, they couldn't warranty them because they are not a Subaru product. I'm pretty disappointed. I've never been a fan of Yokohama and will never purchase another set of them again. Do yourself a favor and get another tire put on your car before purchasing a car with these Yokohama tires on it.

That's too bad. I have nearly as many miles on my Yoko Avids as you, and they're wearing quite nicely. But I do check my tire pressure very regularly, and am not an aggressive driver.

'12 Sport Limited purchased 5/8/12. 9900 miles and my S34D are wearing normally. I keep TP ~31 F and ~29 R. Seem to be wearing well.
 
BTW, they are way overdue for the 1st rotation.

I inflate my tires 3 pounds harder than listed on the tire inflation sticker because I like a firm ride. So I use 35 front/33 rear.

I wonder if the alignment was off or something? Have it checked when you mount the new tires. If it was off see if they'll partially reimburse you.

When the time comes to replace these on my sport limited will I be able to get a tire with a bit higher sidewall , say a 55, or will it screw up the computers?

195/55-17 would be close in diameter, but is a narrower tire with minimal gain in sidewall height. 205/55-17 may be OK, if it fits.
 
You need to drop to a 16" wheel to gain meaningful sidewall height without changing the overall diameter.

The rule is thumb is +/- 3% is ok. That's not much.
 
That calculator is very useful.

Jan 20, 2013 (7:16 am)

Hi,
My gas gauge quit working 4000 miles ago and my mpg dropped by 7 miles. I took it in for service and they cleaned the sensor. the gas gauge worked again but my mpg is still 27 average. should be 33. Upset and now my gas gauge quit working again. Help!!! I am calling service in the morning. They argued with me about the gas mileage. Don't want to go back:(
