Keith3267, Numbchux, forester 2002s: Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. :-) I'm going to look into getting the Michelins or Yokohama tires. My mechanic said I'll be needing new tires in spring, but I may spring for new tires before then. I'll try to post back again with how things work out with the new tires. Side note: I just bought the Legacy several months ago. Had to finally retire my 1997 Saturn SL2 (207,000 miles). I'm surprised that with all of the advances over the years that the cabin of my 2014 Legacy is noiser than my '97 Saturn, which the auto industry also reported was noiser than average! The noise level of the Legacy is not horrible, just enough to be annoying. Noise canceling technology: I think I heard that Honda's which are noted for a quiet ride have noise canceling electronic technology. Too bad that's not a generic component we can install into any car on the road! Thanks again for your input. Carol

Hi, There! I bought a 2014 Subaru Legacy Premium with the 17" low profile tires. Too much road noise! I believe the tires already on my car are considered to help minimize road noise. I have: Turanze EL400 P215/50R17 90V M+S Tubeless Radial EL4PRZ DOT OBPC PM14113 So I'm wondering if it's worth putting smaller 16" non-low profile tires to reduce the road noise. I know there are other ways of alleviating road noise, am wondering about this one in particular. Thanks for any input that can be provided. Carol

Numbchux: Thanks for your input. Carol

HI. I've driven the Legacy, am impressed and I'm considering buying a Legacy 2.5i Premium. The Premium model does not come with some of the options I'd like. The dealer is offering to install the following for me: -Remote Start -Foglights -Auto dimming mirror -Rear bumper applique (is this worth buying?) -All weather floor mats -Alloy wheel locks Will these add-ons be the same as if the car came with them already installed to the dealer? Is there anything else I should know, like making sure I get genuine Subaru parts for the remote, foglight install? (is it possible they'd use after market parts?) Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank! Carol
