I had the windows tinted this week. This plus the wheels has really transformed the look from the stock base model. View attachment 532930

Those wheels really give it a premium factory look.

Aloha

Nice, very nice

What wheels / tires did you have, and then go to?

From: Stock 16" steel wheels with Michelin Defenders
To: 2015 Forester XT 18" wheels with Les Schwab Road Control Touring A/S
The tires came on the wheels, so weren't my pick. But the tread is nearly new and they seem just fine. Added bonus is I've already had an issue with a leaking valve stem and the TPMS needing reset again - since it was their tires they fixed for free. Hoping they will play nice now!

Thanks... going from 16" to 18" wheels, did you feel / experience any changes in handling and/or when going over potholes, etc.?

It is firmer, but that's mostly because I was running the pressure a little low below, and now the tire pressure is much higher. i.e. Of course there is a lot less tire than below, so you could expect it to not be as good for potholes? It also feels much more planted cornering, but again that might just be because the tire pressure right now is higher than I had it before. To be honest there still feels like there is plenty of tire even on 18" rims, since the overall diameter of the wheel is so large to begin with. So not like a sedan where they have big rims and small tire height.

New to this community. Just starting out on my build. Got new wheels and tires installed yesterday! Now just waiting on my Nameless Exhaust to come in the mail 😊

Rolled past 120,000 miles today and had some great miles on the forest roads to go trail running.

Hi all,

Long time lurker and first time poster. Here I am last month at my campsite at Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas; so many terrific off-road trails to explore in this area. Car is still performing flawlessly after eight years/78K miles.

Happy spring! Went for a walk to celebrate the official first day of spring with our beautiful spring Wisconsin weather!

Hey all! New here, figured I’d post a quick photo. Picked up a smashed 2011 OB 3.6r about a month and a half ago. It’s mostly back together, just need to do a little body work and paint it. I’d love to throw a little lift on it, but one step at a time

Hi, first time here and first time Subaru owner. I’ve always been intrigued by them since my grandpa’s old Brat. I got this ‘14 for what I consider a good deal considering the current market. It’s been mine for just a few weeks, has 82k-ish on it currently. I’m looking forward to learning from this group.
