She does NOT want to swap back and forth between snows and all-seasons, I have tried. She does not like the noise and no one is around to load and un-load them from the car. I had a set of 205/55R16 Nokia's for it and she did not like the road noise. Suspension mods are not in the cards, just looking for a cheap fix.

Sounds Uber UN-German thing to do!! There engineer neighbors must hate the tuners taht do that!!

Is there a performance edge from doing this??

What do the modded VW's always have the tires too small for the rims? Is there a plus to doing this. Must be hard to keep the wheel lips from geting banged up!!!

I don't see how weight affects width?? I had a 3 ton truck that had 185/75R15's they were three ply side wall but that was the size. More on tire construction not size. Does anyone know how wide the stock rims are on the '03 GT's.

My Mother does not drive her '03 GT legacy sedan very hard at ALL. She does however get it hung-up in snow and high lips on our rural road. What is the thinest/narrowest tires I can put on stock '03 GT wheels? Would 195/60R16's work in place of the 205/55R16's??

I use to live in Princeton, and Evansville when I worked for Toyota. Only a few places you could take it that far South that would work on "J#p cars!!". PM me maybe I can remmber back five years!!

Ever had any experince with Mavis Tire they are a New York tire store chain??

My Mom has the BFG T/A's in the 205/55R16 size. I think the 185/65R15's on stock Legacy L wheels sound like the best bet, AND they keep you alloys nice! Or you could get a set of thouse new Nokian WR's that are suppose to be YEAR ROUND tires. But I heard they are $$$!!

Well my Mom just got back from Mavis Tire in Carmel, NY and they "re-checked" THIER alignment 20,000 miles ago and said the alignment is 20 degrees off and that is why ALL FOUR INNER TREADS WORE OUT!! Charged her $75 for a new alignment, and sent her on her way! I am guessing they will NOT stand behind the tires now!!

Well the shop that put the tires on did the alignment so I guess they shoudl be blamed!

My mothers '03 Legacy GT sedan with 55k and about 10k on the BFG Traction T/A's and four wheel alignment is wearing out the inside of all four tires evenly?? Is this common on the roos that have T/A's on them??

What years were the Baja's made, did all years have a 5 sp option? Are the resales of the Baja low enough that I can find one pretty inexspensively?

Sweet info thanks fellow Granite stater. Now I REALLY want a Turbo 2.5, how long have you been running it at that boost level? I am guessing you can't go to regular gas even in a emergency once the car it mapped up. Is yours a manual or auto?

So I am looking for a used '06 Subaru Legacy GT wagon 5sp mt??

Sorry did not know the Sti WRXs and new WRX are running around with the same motor. Was looking more for the Legacy GT platforms. But I guess all the STI WRX goodies should bolt on.

Anyone who owns a new gen. 2.5 Turbo engined car turned it up past 245 hp stock configuration?

I just took a look at the Subaru web site. Can you get a regular Legacy wagon any longer or just the Outback with the lifted suspension??:-\ I wanted a Subaru with the new turbo 2.5, 5-speed manual, and a wagon in a lower Legacy suspension? No Legacy GT wagons anymore??

YEP, I have been there 10 times for diff. engineering clases at Purdue University when I attended. Purdue is in the same town.

WOPW that thing was rusty. I went a half any hour for a car that had more bondo than metal in the fenders!! I havte wheen peole missrepresent stuff they are trying to off load. This thing belonged in the junk yard. It did have ABS and all the options just REAL rusty!

I am looking at a '91 Legcay sedan, auto AWD with sunroof FS. 162k for $750 she says it is not TOO rotten we will see. But will be a great New Hampshire commuter. Will this car have ABS? Rust is a issue with this gen I know, front fenders at the bottom and rera fenders are problem areas. Anything else i need to know? Is this a 3 or four speed auto?? 1.8 or 2.2?

'03 don't have HG issues. I beg to differ. I just posted about my Mother's '03 GT sedan with PERFECT service records owned since new with 43,000 miles on it that JUST had the drivers side headgasket fail!

I did the same thing with a small tree in a 1993 Toyota Corrola. Bent all four rims, poped one tire other three had bubbles in the sidewalls. Got four rims from junk yard new tires under road hazard warrenty:banana: and alignment and it was never better. Till 40k down the road the rear struts froze down!

Well they did the job under warrenty for JUST the drivers side cyl. bank. Seems to be running well and does not leak coolant any more. They added the cooling system conditioner? I thought a '03 EJ25 would be out of the recall calling for the conditioner?:-\

Smith Carins Subaru in downtown Brewster, NY. They are OK, and have ONE good Subie mech. The rest are Jeep guys. There are probibly better dealerships around you?
