Downbound

I am buying tires and rims for my 99 forester. I have decided to go with GY ultra ice grips as I have run them on my other car for 3 winters and am very satisfied with them...I want to go to 15" for the snows and the manual suggestd 205 70R 15's while all the tire stores suggest 215 65R 15...are they comparable???

thanks for the input..I will try some injector cleaner and see what happens....do you think a compression test on #3 might be wise??

I bought a used 99 Forester S and the check engine light has been on and off (mostly on) for over a year..it always reads the same code P0303 misfire on cyllinder 3. The light always flashes before staying on indicating it is detecting a misfire. I usually clear the light by disconecting the negative terminal. I have had the dealer where i bought it (not a subaru dealer) and the local subaru dealership try to deal with it..I have had 2 new sets of plugs,and wires, 2 new coils.. but the problem is still there..it seems to run fine, plenty of acceleration and very smooth running, except when idlling, you can occasionally hear the put put of a misfire from the tail pipe.. any ideas anyone...
