After driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km),
check the wheel nuts again and retighten any nut
that has become loose.
J Tire replacement
The wheels and tires are important and integral
parts of your vehicle’s design; they cannot be
changed arbitrarily. The tires fitted as standard
equipment are optimally matched to the characteris-
tics of the vehicle and were selected to give the best
possible combination of running performance, ride
comfort, and service life. It is essential for every tire
to have a size and construction matching those
shown on the tire placard and to have a speed sym-
bol and load index matching those shown on the tire
placard.
Using tires of a non-specified size detracts from
controllability, ride comfort, braking performance,
speedometer accuracy and odometer accuracy. It
also creates incorrect body-to-tire clearances and
inappropriately changes the vehicle’s ground clear-
ance.
All four tires must be the same in terms of manufac-
turer, brand (tread pattern), construction, and size.
You are advised to replace the tires with new ones
that are identical to those fitted as standard equip-
ment.
For safe vehicle operation, SUBARU recommends
replacing all four tires at the same time.
NOTE
Unidirectional tires: Some tires have a specified
direction of rotation. A tire of this type has an ar-
row or other mark on its side wall to indicate the
direction of rotation. Install it so that the direc-
tion of rotation is correct when the vehicle is
driven forward.
