'98 Forester tire question. I just got a '98 Forester and was thrilled to find this site. I have read lots of posts and the sticky FAQs and was ready to upsize my 215/60 R16 tires to something more aggressive. Since I have seen lots of other type tires used by you guys I figured it was fine. But after asking 3 Subaru mechanics (1 dealer), they all instantly said No Way. They say any deviation form the reccomended size will lead to tranny and diff. problems. I did find a 4th mechanic who said as long as I changed all 4 tires and they didn't rub, then it was fine. So what is the truth here? Sorry for yet another tire question.
