I have a 1998 obs with m&s tires with good tread, in snow and ice, will I need chains, do subarus ever need chains??? Some one told me that I should put...
My '99 OBS goes through everything that Minnesota (Twin Cities) throws at us. I have AVID TRZ tires. Before that when I got the car, there were some awful (and...
I'd advise snow tires. I use Blizzaks on every car. On the Subaru they make it pretty much unstoppable until you get more than a foot of snow and it starts...
Don't put extra weight in the back of an OBS for snow or ice. The back end of the car needs to follow the front, and the extra bite from the added traction may...
The folks at Boxer4racing.com will be able to help. Check their Web- site. You may need to call them, but they are a great Subaru Source, they will get you...
... runs four studded snow tires on his 99OB. I have had to run four chains on my four studded tires on my 1981 Subaru to get home lots of times back in the...
If you have decent all-weather tires, you may find that you don't need snow tires. Driving Subarus in Michigan winters since 1990, I've never felt a great...
... tires for winter. I figure the best is best for ice all winter and if you have two sets of wheels and tires, thats the best way to go. I dont like the idea...
man, with your subaru you only need a nice set of winter tire then u r all set. well if you going to drive in some terrible snow storm and such, you may need...
With a good set of winter tires you're better off withOUT studs. Note that I'm talking "good" like Blizzaks. (Presumably Nokians as well). Studs were only...

My 99 OBS is making a noise up top I at first thought it was the AC pump so I cut the belt to eliminate that since I won't be needing it for a few months....
The noise is like a grinding noise not just the tick, tick I usually hear. It does change with the rpms and is steady during entire operation. Not from drive...
sorry for possible ignorance on the cause, but could it be a water pump that's dying? I had similar noise on a 92 Legacy wagon a few years ago. there was a...
I might as well add my input as well. I've used Blizzaks in the past, they are great. Snow, ice bring it on, they will go. They are a bit of a compromise on...
During the past two weeks my fuel economy has dipped by at least 5 mpg on my '08 OBS. I live in the Chicago area where it has been snowy on the roads and the...
You're also using more power to run the defrosters, wipers, heaters, lights, and it takes a lot more energy to drive through rain, snow, slush and what not....
winter fuel mixtures and cold starts, longer times to get to operating temps. it all adds up to less MPG, but it seems a bit much. Try buying fuel at a...
