just got two new re001's on the back!!! should make a difference compared to the very very bald ones that were on there

Sweet, nice legacy mate! Are the fronts near same tread as the rears?

on the back? as a rule I always put new shoes on the front... (well my tire guys does)

yeah front ones are some random brand that were on the car when I got it they are pretty much new. not sure of the brand. as for the new tires on the back I mentioned to him putting them on the front and said better to have all that grip at the back so that it don't slide out?

[funkytown]

so you have a pair of turning AND powered wheels..

and a pair of powered wheels..

lemme check now.. but your rather less grip on the turning wheels.. ???

bags your dont change my wheels

[Guest boostcut]

its actually reccomended by the mta that new tyres go on the back off all cars. but i prefer controllable oversteer to barely controllable understeer

and front braking is also a small issue with shitty tires on the front.

hmm i feel a shit fight coming on - Subaru specific guide?

[Guest Fastfour]

Removed my turbo and a few other bits and pieces.

Sweet, so they are pretty much new then. Because you probably know but it's not always the best having un-equal tread depths as it messes with the AWD system (diffs and stuff).

But I ran my pirellis for a few months uneven until I heard it was bad Then went and did all 4 with new bridgestones.

[Joker]

not if i stand on my head....

New Tires on a FWD car on the front,on a RWD on the back the way I look at it put them on the end that needs the most traction

AWD vehicles should ALWAYS have the tires changed as a set of 4

I'll have to have another look when I get home. Didn't really get time to have a good look at it. But I'm meaning the top hat nuts.

your top hats have nuts already, undo one side and put brace on - reattach nuts.

repeat for the other side.

Fixed the squeaking coming from the Power Steering belt, turns out the idler bearing was loose and on an angle.

Also bought some Upper Engine Cleaner only $15!
