Hi,
I got new for me 2005 forester 2.5x :biggrin:,
Now looking to upgrade tires for some mud fun, still it's my daily driver.
Is the General grabber at2 in 215/65R16 will work on stock wheels? how it will work on pavement and change the MPG?

I used to have an 06 Outback Sport that i put 205/75 15 general grabbers on and i did not notice a change in my MPG or much of a change in my handling on road.

Ok, thanks, I guess bigger question if General Grabber 215/65R16 safe/works on stock wheels?

The 215/65R16 is about 3% larger diameter than stock 215/60R16, so the speedometer and odometer will be off a bit. Fit shouldn't be a problem. See: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbull...ize-offset-etc-log-will-fit-11836/#post145643

Also, the 215/65R16 mounted on 16 x 6-1/2 wheels became the OEM tire size on the base X model starting with the '09 MY.

HTH,
Jim / crewzer

I got the same size. No problem fitting them. As for speedometer I think it's more spot on now then with the standard size tires.

I run 215/65/16 Grabber AT2s in the Winter and like them. They have some mileage on them, so this may be the last year I put them on. Nonetheless, they're a great budget offroad/snow tire.

What psi do you have your grabbers?

@ChayceSG3 this is a 10 year old thread, so the odds of receiving a reply to your question is pretty low...
