Tires and Wheels
35811-21. Tires and Wheels■Types of TiresYou should be familiar with type of tires
present on your vehicle.
▼ Summer tires
The factory-installed tires on your new
vehicle are summer tires.
Summer tires are high-speed capability
tires best suited for highway driving under
dry conditions.
Summer tires are inadequate for driving
on slippery roads such as on snow-
covered or icy roads.
If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered
or icy roads, we strongly recommend the
use of winter (snow) tires.
When installing winter tires, be sure to
replace all four tires.
▼ All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide
an adequate measure of traction, handling
and braking performance in year-round
driving including snowy and icy road
conditions. However all season tires do
not offer as much traction performance as
winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow
or on icy roads. All season tires are identified by “ALL

SEASON” and/or “M+S” (Mud & Snow) on
the tire sidewall.
▼ Winter (snow) tires
Winter tires are best suited for driving on
snow-covered and icy roads. However
winter tires do not perform as well as
summer tires and all season tires on roads
other than snow-covered and icy roads.
NOTEIf the tread wears down below 0.16 in.
(4mm) on snow tires the effectiveness
of snow tires is lost.
▼ Low profile tires
Generally, low profile tires will wear more
rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when
compared to standard tires. Be sure to
use snow tires or tire chains on snowy
and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and weather
conditions.NOTELow profile tires may cause greater
damage than usual to the wheel when
receiving impact from the road sur-
face. Therefore pay attention to the fol-
lowing: 
Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
 Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and
wheel damage.
■ Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) (If Equipped)The tire pressure monitoring system
provides the driver with a warning
message by sending a signal from a
sensor that is installed in each wheel
when tire pressure is severely low. The
tire pressure monitoring system will acti-
vate only when the vehicle is driven. Also,
this system may not react immediately to
a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example, a blow-out caused by running
over a sharp object).
If you adjust the tire pressures in a warm
garage and will then drive the vehicle in
cold outside air, the resulting drop in tire
pressures may cause the low tire pressure
warning light to illuminate. To avoid this
problem when adjusting the tire pressures
in a warm garage, inflate the tires to pres-
sures higher than those shown on the tire
inflation pressure label. Specifically,
inflate them by an extra 1 psi (6.9 kPa,
0.07 kgf/cm
2) for every difference of 10°F

■Tire InspectionCheck on a daily basis that the tires
are free from serious damage, nails,
and stones. At the same time, check
the tires for abnormal wear.
Contact your SUBARU dealer
immediately if you find any problem.NOTE When the wheels and tires
strike curbs or are subjected to
harsh treatment as when the
vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage

that cannot be seen with the
naked eye. This type of damage
does not become evident until
time has passed. Try not to drive
over curbs, potholes or on other
rough surfaces. If doing so is
unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s
speed down to a walking pace or
less, and approach the curbs as
squarely as possible. Also, make
sure the tires are not pressed
against the curb when you park
the vehicle.
 If you feel unusual vibration
while driving or fi nd it difficult to
steer the vehicle in a straight line,
one of the tires and/or wheels
may be damaged. Drive slowly to
the nearest authorized SUBARU
dealer and have the vehicle
inspected.
 Tires should be replaced if:
– You have tire damage such
as cuts, splits, cracks deep
enough to expose the fabric or
bulges indicating internal
damage
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
does not illuminate briefly after the
ignition switch is turned ON or the
light illuminates steadily after blink-
ing for approximately one minute,
you should have your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System checked at a
SUBARU dealer as so on as possi-
ble.If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly. Instead, per-
form the following procedure. Oth-
erwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.1) Keep driving straight ahead while
gradually reducing speed.2) Slowly pull off the road to a safe
place.If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose ai r rapidly. If you
have a flat tire, re fer to "Flat Tires"
 P303.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates
the TPMS is unable to monitor all
four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possi-
ble for tire and sensor replacement
and/or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.

Alloy Wheels
366NOTEWhen any of the wheels are removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to
change a flat tire, always check the
tightness of the wheel nuts after driv-
ing approximately 600 miles (1,000
km). If any nut is loos e, tighten it to the
specified torque.
11-22. Alloy WheelsAlloy wheels can be scratched and
damaged easily. Handle them carefully to
maintain their appearance, performance,
and safety.
 When any of the wheels is removed
and replaced for tire rotation or to change
a flat, always check the tightness of the
wheel nuts after driving approximately 600
miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose,
tighten it to the specified torque.
 Never apply oil to the threaded parts,
wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the
wheel.
 Never let the wheel rub against sharp
protrusions or curbs.
 When wheel nuts, balance weights, or
the center cap is replaced, be sure to
replace them with genuine SUBARU parts
designed for alloy wheels.
11-23. Windshield Washer Fluid1) “LOW” positionThe washer fluid level can be checked by
observing the position of the level on the
liquid-covered holes in the gauge. 
If the level falls below the second hole
from the bottom (the “LOW” position), add
washer fluid.
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield
washer fluid is unavailable use clean
water.
In areas where water freezes in winter,
use an anti-freeze type windshield washer
fluid.
WARNING
Use only those wheels that are
specified for your vehicle. Wheels
not meeting specifications could
interfere with brake caliper opera-
tion and may cause the tires to rub
against the wheel well housing
during turns. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

39413-1. For U.S.A.The following information has been
compiled according to Code of Federal
Regulations “Title 49, Part 575”.
13-2. Tire Information■ Tire LabelingMany markings (e.g . Tire size, Tire
Identification Number or TIN) are
placed on the sidewall of a tire by
tire manufacturers. These marking
can provide you with useful informa-
tion on the tire.
▼ Tire size
Your vehicle comes equipped with
P-Metric tire size. It is important to
understand the sizing system in
selecting the proper tire for your
vehicles. Here is a brief review of
the tire sizing system with a break-
down of its individual elements.
▽ P Metric
With the P-Metric system, Section
Width is measured in millimeters.
To convert millimeters into inches,
divide by 25.4. The Aspect Ratio
(Section Height divided by Section
Width) helps provide more dimen-
sional information about the tire
size. Example:
(1) P = Certain tire type used on

light duty vehicles such as
passenger cars
(2) Section Width in millimeters
(3) Aspect Ratio (= section height ÷
section width).
(4) R = Radial Construction
(5) Rim diameter in inches
▽ Load and Speed Rating Descrip -
tions
The load and speed rating descrip-
tions will appear following the size
designation.
They provide two important facts
about the tire. First, the number
designation is its load index.
Second, the letter designation indi-
cates the tire’s speed rating.Example:
P 205 / 60 R 16(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
P 205 / 60 R 16 91 V

(6) Load Index: A numerical code
which specifies the maximum load a
tire can carry at the speed indicated
by its speed symbol, at maximum
inflation pressure.
For example, “
91” means 1,356 lbs
(615 kg), “90” means 1,323 lbs (600 kg),
“89
” means 1,279 lbs (580 kg)
(7) Speed Rating: An alphabetical
system describing a tire’s capability
to travel at established and prede-
termined speeds.
For example, “
V” means 149 mph
(240 km/h)
▼ Tire Identification Number
(TIN)
Tire Identification Number (TIN) is
marked on the intended outboard
sidewall. The TIN is composed of
four groups. Here is a brief review of
the TIN with a breakdown of its indi-
vidual elements. (1) DOT symbol*
(2) Manufacturer’s Identification
Mark
(3) Tire Size Code
(4) Tire Type Code
(5) Date of Manufacture
The first two figures identify the

week, starting with “
01” to represent
the first full week of the calendar
year; the second two figures repre-
sent the year. For example, 0101
means the 1st week of 2001.
*: The DOT symbol certifies that the
tire conforms to applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
▼ Other markings
The following makings are also
placed on the sidewall.
WARNING
Load indices apply only to the
tire, not to the vehicle. Putting
a load rated tire on any vehicle
does not mean the vehicle can
be loaded up to the tire’s rated
load.
WARNING
 Speed ratings apply only to
the tire, not to the vehicle.
Putting a speed rated tire on
any vehicle does not mean
the vehicle can be operated
at the tire’s rated speed. The speed rating is void if
the tires are worn out,
damaged, repaired,
retreaded, or otherwise
altered from their original
condition. If tires are
repaired, retreaded, or other-
wise altered, they may not be
suitable for original equip-
ment tire designed loads and
speeds.
