Subaru Forester

[niky]

They're just fine as everyday tires... for an SUV. But for a vehicle as fast as the 2.5 XT, sports tires or "sporty" tires are a better choice.

wow, upgrade kaagad ha.

it's amazing how a simple upgrade like changing to grippier tires makes so much of a difference. if there was a universal complaint about the forester, it's those darn yokohama geolanders. after switching to michelin pilots, my FXT is noticeably quicker and handles and brakes much better.

Did you also chnage your rims to go with your new tires? I'm just waiting a bit longer to have my tires replaced, thinking if I should go 18's na, I still want to retain some beef para di tamaan ang rims.

[wren]

Oh no. Dapat ko ba papalitan yung default tires? Habang di ko pa nakukuha yung unit? What's wrong with the Yokohamas?

you don't have to. sayang din yan. i waited until pudpod na yung stock tires before changing 'em. nothing wrong with the yokohamas, but they're known in the forester community as geosquealers, kasi they squeal when pushed hard around the corners.

i was mulling over upgrading to at least 17's, but i decided to retain the 16's because i venture out to the snow country quite often during the winter.

Oh. Buti na lang. Hehe. I usually drive slower the faster my car can go -- But on the odd occassion when I really need speed, I want it to be there.

Finally! I can compare my Civic 2002 MT's acceleration to the Forester myself. Obviously it wouldn't have been a contest kung may MT Forester -- eh kaso wala eh!

I got mine 2 days after I ordered it. Also asked M.I. to prepare two delivery receipts dated one week apart to allow me to drive around till my plate no arrived.
