  1. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    My 2010 Forester Premium came with a donut sized spare. I heard its not good to drive AWD on a spare. So, I purchased a Full-size OEM rim with a Cooper tire off Craigslist that I use as my "spare". The Cooper (spare) is 7/32" tread. The tires on the vehicle are newer BF Goodrich Advantage...

    Hey guys, I’m a new Suburu owner and have really been enjoying the forester sport I bought about 2 weeks ago. However, we just got a heavy snow and when I drove it to the gas station about a mile away, it said my tire was flat! Sure enough, my rear passenger tire has a crack/gash in it and is...

    I recently purchased a new 2024 Forester Sport, and I couldn’t be happier. I immediately wanted to upgrade the wheels after purchasing the car, but I didn’t know what to get or where to look. I turned to this forum for direction and insights, and I must say that fellow Subaru owners and...

    Hi All I stopped by at Costco and they offered me either Michelin CrossClimate2 All Season Tire or BFS WeatherPeak All Weather Tire. But I noticed Costco website had other choices. (I prefer to use Costco). So.. there is a number of choices and I am not sure what is the right one. Do folks have...

    Thinking of getting a full-sized spare for my 2008 Forester 2.5X. I also want to use it in a five tire rotation to keep the treads all within the 1/4" circumference limit for AWD. Question: If I have a TPMS sensor installed in the spare will it automatically be recognized by the TPMS module...

    I have a 2022 Forester Premium (first Subaru) and do 3-4 road trips every year, each about 4-5,000 miles. Service is done every 6000 miles and I had the 30,000 mile service just before my last road trip. About 1000 miles into the trip, I lost air pressure in the left rear tire and had to fill it...

    Okay, bear with me here. I had just gotten new tires for my 2000 forester, when it started overheating severely. That led to my replacing the radiator —yup, did it myself, huzzah— but then the coolant pump went kaput ...and that's beyond my mechanic capabilities. Plus, the 2000 is a serious rust...

    Set of 4 New 2023 Forester Sport OEM Wheels and Tires (take offs). This combo looks great on multiple years of Foresters. The black aluminum alloy wheels are very popular among Subaru enthusiasts and the tires are high-performance for street and all-season use. Only 800 miles driven on them...

    Im looking into putting a 2 inch lift on my fully stock 99 forester. I was wondering what the biggest tires I could put on there are without having to do any major work on it I just want to put big wheels on for off roading. TIA

    I have a 2020 forester, Base, purchased new on 9/8/2020 - the Subaru now has only 20,150 miles. I went to Pep Boys to get an oil change. They said the cost to rotate the tires is included at no additional cost with an oil change. When they completed the oil and filter change, they said that...
  11. Steering, Suspension and Handling
    I've had my 2021 for about 6 months now and like everything about the car except the suspension. Over small potholes, manhole covers and other similar bumps it is smooth but for other seemingly small road imperfections, the car bounces and wobbles/jiggles side to side. So far I've tried...

    I bought this 2018 forester new. It only has 26K miles but the tires are looking cracked and weathered despite having tons of tread left. People have told me different things about cracked subaru tires being fine and just cosmetic and others telling me that it is dangerous. Should I change...

    I have a 2021 Premium and I am on the stock tires right now. I'm looking at the Wildpeak Trails. I'm curious if going from a 60 to a 65 would really make a noticeable difference in handling rough roads and such? Where I live has some really neglected roads, so some extra cushion would be nice...

    I have a 2011 Subaru Forester 2.5 X premium and after a 2inch lift was wondering if; Motegi MR139 (black) 15x7 5x100 +15 BF Goodrich K02s 215/75-15 Would be able to fit, currently my factory rims are 17” and factory tire size is 225 55 17, but after a 2 inch lift would that tire and wheel fit?
  15. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    On my 99 S (factory 215/60R16) that is bone stock, without any modifications will a 215/65R16 fit without rubbing even when the car is loaded down and or at full tilt turn? I'm looking at getting a set of Wildpeak ATtrails (I know that stepping down a size is recommended, but I'm not going to...
  16. Wheels and Tires / Tyres
    On my 2011 forester x premium, I went from 17” rims to 16” rims to get bigger tires. They’ve been a little low recently and I can’t figure out wether I should fill them to 44 psi (what it says on the tire) or 32 psi (what the car says the stock tires should be filled to). Sorry if it sounds...

    Hey guys, new to the forum with me 21 Forester Premium, i love this car, its ride is superior to that of any brand ive owned prior to it! I drive a lot maybe not as much as some people but right about 19K to 22K a year. I drive to work everyday, fishing spots, and I love to drive to the places...

    The dealership said I should replace the tires on my 2018 Forester for winter. I live in Oregon and I'm thinking an all-season. I already have a lot of road noise so I would like a good tire that's quiet without breaking the bank. But I know it's often better to buy quality. Does anyone have...

    There are two things you should never cheap out on: mattresses, and tires. Or that’s how the conventional wisdom goes, anyway. The idea persists that if you’re not dropping money on tires from one of the big-name brands – Michelin, Pirelli, BFGoodrich, Continental, Goodyear, and the like – that...
