The Importance of Good Tires

The area where your tires actually contact the road is very small, sometimes no bigger than the size of your hand. This makes it all the more important that they have adequate tread life and are in good condition to help ensure the safety and performance of your Subaru.

Understanding Your Tire Needs: Custom Solutions for Indianapolis Drivers

Cruising around Monument Circle feels different from a snowy predawn run to Bloomington. We listen before we recommend. City commuters often benefit from quiet all-season tires, while weekend campers may prefer all-terrain options for gravel sections along the White River. Daily mileage, cargo weight, and parking habits shape our advice. We review tread wear, age, and tire pressure monitoring system alerts and match you with Subaru-recommended tires. Our goal is to help you choose the right set of tires the first time so you save money and time down the road.

All Season Tires: Versatility for Year-Round Performance

Modern all-season Subaru tires balance wet stopping grip with long tread life. They work well in our moderate spring rains and handle light winter dustings. Many Outback and Forester drivers stick with this option to simplify maintenance. We offer brands such as Yokohama, Falken, and Michelin, all engineered for Subaru symmetry. Expect even road manners, quiet cabins, and good fuel economy.

Benefits of all-season tires.

• Engineered to perform in warm, dry and wet conditions
• Suitable in cold weather with light snowfall
• Intended for year-round use
• Longer tread life
• Many variations available

All-season tires are the most common type of tire purchased because they are designed to provide adequate traction for a variety of driving conditions – hot and dry, rainy, cold or snowy – and are ideal for moderate climates. The tread design and rubber compound work well in different driving conditions due to weather, and have longer tread life than summer-specific tires, for example.

However, since they’re engineered for a combination of conditions, they are not tailored to provide the level of traction and abilities that summer/performance tires offer in warm and wet conditions, nor the grip and braking performance that winter tires have in cold, snowy or icy conditions. The good news is that tire manufacturers offer a spectrum of all-season tires – some handle certain elements better than others – so if you live in a moderate climate, we will help determine which ones are best suited for the conditions you usually drive in.

Performance/Summer Tires: Maximize Your Subaru's Capabilities

WRX and BRZ owners chase a quick steering response and short braking distances. Performance or summer tires use sticky rubber that warms fast on pavement that's above 40 degrees. We suggest storing a winter set once temperatures drop since summer tires harden in the cold. Ask about Subaru tire specials that bundle mounting and storage for a smooth seasonal swap.

Benefits of summer/performance tires.

• Improved braking, cornering and traction in warm climate conditions
• Exceptional street traction
• Enhanced performance in wet driving conditions
• High-performance versions available for speed and agility

If you live where it is regularly warm all year long, summer/performance tires are ideal for your vehicle. The tread design and rubber compound of these tires are engineered to “stick” to dry roads better than other tire types, as more surface area per tire makes contact with the road. Most summer/performance tires also offer increased traction on wet roads. Some versions are designed specifically for high-performance vehicles and are even better equipped for speed, cornering and hard braking. Depending on your model Subaru and regional climate, you may want to purchase summer/performance tires for the warmer climates and seasons, but switch over to winter tires when temperatures drop and snowfall is probable.

Winter Tires: Safety and Control in Cold Conditions

Indiana sees icy mornings that challenge even Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Dedicated winter tires stay pliable below freezing, bite into snow, and clear slush faster. Tests show that stopping distances are several car lengths shorter compared with worn all-season tires. We carry Bridgestone Blizzak and Continental VikingContact lines that are sized for every Subaru SUV and sedan. We can install them before the first deep chill to avoid the seasonal rush.

Benefits of winter tires.

• Engineered to perform in cold temperatures, snow, ice and slush
• Soft rubber compound improves traction
• Increased stopping performance on snow/ice
• Decreases sliding during turns

You may want to start by asking someone who has driven with winter tires if they’ve felt more confident behind the wheel during wintery conditions. They will probably say that they have. The difference in confidence is attributed to the type of rubber compound and tread pattern of winter-specific tires. Winter tires are engineered to provide better grip in winter months than all-season tires, and especially more than summer/performance tires. But why?

The answer lies in what happens to other types of tires when the temperature falls near or below freezing. All-season tires work well in a combination of dry, wet and light-snow conditions, but, like summer/performance tires, their rubber composition hardens in cold temperatures. This makes them less effective for traction, braking and handling even if there isn’t any snow on the road. Winter tires also have unique tread designs to cope with traveling over ice and snow.

Benefits of Proper Tire Maintenance and Care

Keeping your Subaru tires in shape has some benefits.

Knowing the Importance of Regular Tire Rotations and Alignments

Tire rotation spreads wear across all four corners. Subaru recommends rotating your tires every 6,000 miles. We lift your vehicle, inspect tread depth, and reset torque to factory specs. After a set of new tires, we check the alignment with laser sensors. A straight steering wheel feels better and helps the rubber last longer, delaying Subaru tire replacement and saving you cash over the life of the set.

Spotting Signs of Tire Wear: When To Seek Professional Help

Watch for shoulder cupping, center balding, or a steering wheel that shakes at highway speed. A sudden drop in tire pressure may indicate a nail or sidewall puncture. If you notice any of these signs, schedule a fast Subaru tire service. Catching issues early guards against blowouts and can rescue your tire before damage spreads.

Understanding the Tire Pressure Monitoring System

A steady tire pressure monitoring system light means one or more tires have low air pressure, while a flashing light may point to a sensor battery fault. We read the codes, fill the tires, and recalibrate the system. Correct tire pressure boosts fuel economy and all-wheel-drive performance.

What’s the point of winter tires if I have all-wheel drive?

It’s common to think the Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive System of your Subaru is enough to handle what winter brings, but it becomes less effective in slippery and cold conditions without winter tires. Remember, your tires are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the road. Imagine yourself running through a mix of packed snow and ice with running shoes on, versus running through the same conditions with snow boots on. Which pair of footwear is more likely to help you keep your balance or prevent you from slipping? Having the right kind of tires on your Subaru maximizes performance and, most importantly, safety.

Should I purchase winter tires?

The general guideline: If you live in a region where temperatures reach near or below freezing for extended periods of time, winter tires are ideal because their rubber compound allows them to stay pliable and deliver ample traction. If you have experienced what it’s like to drive with clenched hands on the steering wheel during frequent snowfalls, winter tires may bring calmness to your grip.

Is it worth it for two sets of tires?

Additional grip and safety are worth it, especially during snowy conditions. The cost of a set of winter tires has the potential of saving you much more, by helping avoid accidents due to slick winter driving conditions. Another way to look at it: Only half the year’s amount of miles you drive will be on each set. By having a designated winter (cold temperature) setup, you will increase the lifetime of your other (warm temperature) setup when it’s used during the warmer months.

Couldn’t I use winter tires all year long?

We do not recommend using winter tires all year long. As temperatures rise in spring through summer, the soft rubber compound of winter tires tends to wear out faster than all-season tires on warm, dry roads. In the long run, it will save you money to use your winter tires only when the season calls for them.

If you decide to purchase a set of four winter tires, our factory trained technicians can properly swap them on and off each season with proper dismounting, mounting and balancing care. We want you to stay safe in the winter months and our team is standing by to assist you with a winter tire setup that’s right for your Subaru.

What’s a four-wheel alignment?

Simply put, a four-wheel alignment uses sophisticated lasers and sensors to determine the wheel angles of your Subaru. If the computer detects that they are out of alignment – according to specifications – our factory trained technicians make the proper adjustments to bring them back into alignment.

Having your wheels aligned – especially after having new tires installed – will help promote tire longevity. Poor road conditions and daily driving can cause misalignment over time. If you’ve felt vibrations or your vehicle pulling to one side, a wheel alignment may correct those concerns.

Ever notice this light before?

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

If the TPMS light comes on and stays lit while you’re driving, it is warning you that low tire pressure has been detected in one or more of your tires (excluding the spare). Tire pressure can drop when the weather changes from hot to cold, but it will also decrease if you have an air leak. You can check the pressure yourself. Watch the “Tire Pressure” video above for more information.

Remember, a flashing tire light may mean there is a malfunction with the TPMS system or a damaged sensor. You can bring your Subaru to our service center if you have a concern, and we can take care of that light for you.
