| Forester XT tire recomendation... | 22 Jun 2004 19:01 GMT | 1 |
The Geolanders are about shot (outside edge wear from soft sidewalls rolling under cornering) Anyone got a good recomendation in the stock size? I was hoping to stretch these until I was ready to upsize, but I guess 16k miles with the way I drive is not too bad.
