2-1-2008: First mod: Replaced the stock 215/45/17 RE92's (crap) with 225/45/17 RE960 AS Pole Positions





As some of you know I used these same tires in 225/50/17 on my forester, they are excellent "ultra" high performance all seasons. I would have loved to just swap over the rotas from my forester wrapped in these (as they still have quite a bit of tread), but things are never easy are they? With a little research, I learned that the 50 series tire will not clear the strut perch on the LGT : ( . They work on Spec B's as they have different bilstein struts, but no go on the standard LGT. So had to grab a brand new set.

The RE92's which come stock on the LGT, are a horrible mismatch for such a fun and powerful car. They broke loose on me in the rain when barely giving it gas on an on ramp, and broke loose again going somewhat hard around a turn. As you know my friends, this is unacceptable. To be honest, my modded 99' forester out handles the stock LGT by a good shot. A bigger RSB is definitely in order for this one.

Another reason I had them replaced so soon after getting the car, is that I had noticed a weird warpage on the inside of the back right tire . Turns out, as the tech at the tire place told me, the tire was actually STRIPPING itself off the wheel!! I'm lucky the tire didn't just fall off while driving 70 on the interstate huh?

To sum it up, great first mod, I love these tires and reccomend them to anyone looking for a great all season. Next up: window tint and AVO high flow panel filter (I need to hear more turbo ). Look for the Bronze Rota SDR's from my forester to go on eventually too.

Thanks for looking!

Stay tuned (pun intended)

Congrats, great choice! Exact color in/out and tranny as one belonging to a guy I know. Actually, I'm the one who talked him into a Subaru out of a 350Z (well, after he realized he couldn't afford the insurance for one at 22 yrs old)!

Nice, nice. Only difference I would have a MT.

Nice, how does that turbo compare to a 39?

Nice! I love ABP. I came so close to getting an ABP 5spd Limited GT Wagon when they first came out, but unfortunately couldn't quite swing it.

thanks all, I am really enjoying the car.

filibence, I think the 40 is comprable to the 39, the 39 has more potential for bigger power though. I'm new to turbo's, sounds like a great question for the turbo section though!

what rubber do you have on the SDRs? I think dark wheels are going to look sweet on that color LGT. Look forward to seeing them on there.

Same rubber, just in a 50 series. I'll let you know when I get them dismounted before transfering wheels to the legacy. If you are ever thinking of 17's I could sell you the tires for cheap, plenty of tread left.
