TRAVIS75

I went all out when I bought them, even got the 5th for a spare.

Very impressed with them! No extra road noise, no change in turning radius, no rubbing. All bonuses!

I received them on last friday and had them installed on Monday. Much to my surprise, I notice no difference in noise, and even the ride feels the same. We've had a bunch of snow recently, and despite the best efforts of the plow crews for the city. Many stretches of road have many many areas that the snow is frozen into ruts and big chunks. I've hit these with my previous street tires I had on, as well as these ones I just received and they actually handle the crappy stuff better. Overall, I'm very impressed with them.

Just got them today, they look exactly like the tire pictured on Amazon. Looking forward to getting them mounted up!

Yeah I did see that note on them. They have a speed rating of 93 which is "supposed to be" up to 99mph. I drive 6 miles a day to and from work, it is a paved road, but has a posted speed limit of 45 mph. They just arrived today, amazingly all 5 showed up on the same day, a week late, but at least they are all here. Just in time for the 6-12"s of snow were supposed to get by the end of tomorrow.

Have you or anyone you know ran these Forceum tire? I've been looking at them for about a month now, but I've never run anything but factory size tires on my 89 gl. Hesitant only because I'm not sure if they would rub, I have a driveway that has a rather extreme angle you have to take to enter the road.

I had a friend who sent me a photo of some awesome looking tires, by far the most aggressive I've seen available. They are the Forceum and they are a 165/80/13 8 ply tire. Feel free to look them up. My question is, has anybody on here ran these, and if so were there any mods that needed to be done for them to not rub? I'm looking to run them on a 89 gl wagon. I've never run any size other that factory to date on any of the 3 subies I've got. Just looking for some input or thoughts. Thanks and have a great day!

I will check this out, thank you. Do you happen to have a part number for it. The only place I've checked so far is rock auto. They have a number of different ones listed, but it isn't clear to me which one is which based on their description. Or a recommendation for where to get one.

I've been battling the staring up of my 89 gl non turbo since the weather has turned colder. And was nearly impossible to get started and keep running last week at deer camp, when at its coldest it was 6 degrees. I've been pointed in the direction of a temp control sensor, but was also told there were possibly 2, one that goes to your gauge, and one that actually feeds info to the ecm. My gauge works fine, so I believe it gets its info from the one on the thermostat housing (but do correct me if I'm wrong). But I'm not sure where to look for or even what the second one looks like, if anyone has a link that could show me a picture, or a part number or both that would be great. I have a difficult time with our local napa when it comes to getting the correct part, they always ask if its the Subaru 1.8, and yes that's what it has for an engine, but that's not the only years obviously. 4 tries to get a correct axle shaft, and they got it wrong all 4 times. We live in a rural area, and don't have a ton of options for parts stores here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as elk season starts soon, and I don't foresee it getting any warmer anytime soon. Thanks in advance.

I wasn't attempting to stop it, once the level of power steering fluid got low enough that it slowed to a drip, I was simply touching a rag to various spots along the hose until the drip stopped or significantly slowed even further, in an attempt to figure out where along the line the leaked was. I am going bear the cold and replace it before we head out of town this weekend.

That is what it looked like to me as well, however for as far as I can reach down, I can't seem to stop the leak, or slow it down putting a rag around the hose, I was going to replace it end to end, I have a feeling it rubbed through somewhere.

Been awhile since I've had to post a question, which is a good thing, means no problems. I've still got an 89 gl wagon, ea82, m/t, non turbo, d/r. On the day we were to return from Spokane, to Omak, after thanksgiving festivities. I walked outside to discover a huge puddle under my car, oil level was good, checked power steering fluid, it was low. I had a quart, put it in and immediately it started peeing it right back out. Went to walmart, bought 6 quarts, got back an put some more in hoping I could easily see where exactly the hose had worn through, couldn't be lucky enough to see it, of course I'm to damn big to get far enough under to look very well. I took my chances bought another six quarts at the gas station when I filled up and hoped it would make the 130 mile journey home. After my 4th quart, I discovered that other than not having power steering when it was low, the pump wasn't making any noise when driving (don't understand that) and it wasn't until I put enough in that it would start leaking from wherever and down on to my exhaust and making quite the smoke show, that it would start to make noise. So I just stopped putting it in. I now have the complete hose from a local wrecking yard, they had one stripped down already so it didn't take them any time to get me one, my question is, am I going to have to remove a bunch of stuff to get at where the lines hook up to the steering gear/rack, I know the ones on top are obviously very accessible where they come out of the reservoir. I've got a shop I might be able to use in a week or 2 if its going to take long, (cold as hell here right now). Problem is we use this car to take my son to special Olympics sporting events and I need to head out Sunday. Its only a 90 mile trip to where I'm going so I wouldn't be far from home, but if its not going to require a big dismantle to get at the steering rack end of it, I may just tough it out and by a bunch of hand warmers LOL. Thanks folks

Anybody? Thanks in advance

I'm on the verge of getting what I hope is going to be a great deal on yet another Subaru. This will only be the 2nd of 5 that I've owned that has the 2.2. This one is a 90 legacy 4 dr sedan, m/t fwd. The fwd part is the biggest downside to the entire deal. Its got 163,000 on it, needs axle shafts and tires. Which leads me to my question. Currently has 175/70/14. I work at a wrecking yard and we get tires in all the time, however this isn't a common size. All I've found so far is a set of 185 65 14's and a set of 185 75 14's. Being a fwd, its not like we will be out Baja'ing it. However its a very sharp turn to get into and out of my driveway from the main road, so I need to be careful of the rubbing aspect. In your expert opinions, would either of these sets be ok? If I can get some good tires on it, and figure out why the taillights won't shut off when I turn the key off, I will be a very happy man for only spending 250 to buy this car.

Now theres something I didn't think of
