lostinthebush Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 what are the most agressive tires i can get for my stock 1997 legacy obw? my choices are limited i know but is there something similar to mud terrains for my rim size? i found yokohama geolander at-s but thats as hardcore as i could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback_97 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 IMO you'll run out of gearing, clearance, approach angle, etc. long before you'll exceed what an AT tire can do... but you could put Swampers on there, a 27" will fit. I have 205/75/15 AT's on mine and that's plenty for me. Still well behaved on pavement. Where do you plan on taking your car that you need something super aggressive Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinthebush Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 might just go with the yoko at's. swamper would be cool tho or maybe some xterrains maybe even some gumbo mudders lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsea Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I haven't changed my tires yet on my OBW but used this on my Suzuki Sidekick to add a bigger tire and avoid clearance problems. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soutthpaw Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 205/75/15's (from Walmart) $58 each.. Had to remove front mud flap for clearance. also hammered down the seam just to be on the safe side Or the General grabber AT2's in the same size, basically the same tread as a BF goodrich AT and you can get them studded too http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=Grabber+AT+2 here is a link to some nice pics of the AT2's on a Baja http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6139&highlight=at2 I was actually going to do the AT2's but the reason I went with the liberator is that I had them on my F250 and they worked well. second is that Walmart is everywhere, so if I get a flat or blowout somewhere i can probably get it replaced quickly at the nearest wal mart. lifetime balance and rotate for $7.50 a tire is a good deal too. with more agressive tires it is recommended to get them balanced every 5K miles.
