Sweden Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 They're bald... It's time to replace the tires on my 96 Legacy Outback (Michelins). I know that the tires that are on the car now are not manufactured by Michelin any longer because they were difficult to find last time I replaced them in 1999. I would like to keep something with raised white letters to retain the look of the car. Here's the kicker though...I now live in Sweden and tires with raised white letters are not popular here. So, does anyone have suggestions for a good replacement tire with raised white letters for a ´96 that I can get in Europe (preferably Germany)? Cheers!

Sweden Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 O.K. I guess I need to reply to myself on this one... I have now been doing osme additional research to what is available in Europe and came across the options of Cooper Discoverers, Goodyear Wrangler AT-Rs, or Bridgestone Duelers. I have gotten one response already of strong dissatisfaction with the Bridgestones. Has anyone else had experiences with the above listed tires on their Outback or other vehicle? The conditions in southern Sweden are actually rather mild in the winter; I would probably liken them to the state of Washington.

FLAcharlie Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I too (97 OB) discovered the old Michelins are not to be had anymore. I was told the logical replacement is the Michelin 95S Harmony series (P205/70 R 15 I guess). However, these do NOT have the raised white lettering, if that is what you mean to get. They're bald...
