vinoloqu Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I have stock rims with new tires at stock size: 225/55R18. I want to try a smaller diameter for winter tires, and swap them out. Can I go to 16"? I may want to use the new wheels during the warm seasons to get less jarring ride. If you've gone down to 16, how was the ride controlled, and did you wish that you did it sooner? What PSI do you run? I find that the 18's are comfortable at 31 psi and below. But, the ride gets jittery at a higher pressure than that. I'm using Yokohama YK740 GTX. I tried 235/55R18's, of the same Yoko model for a month, and and it affected mileage, acceleration (initial throttle response the most) and noise negatively, but it was a significantly less bouncy ride. Could go to 17", but would try 16" if I could. Discount Tire / Subaru dealer couldn't tell me if I could do it or not -- just that it was not recommended as per their notes. Not sure if it's just the XT's that don't have the clearance. I see other posts that non-touring models seem to be able to take the 16's. finally there is a tube where you can find porn with big tits beauties absolutely free https://bigtitstube.xxx/ Otherwise, I do like the summer/rainy weather performance of the Yokohama's. Went over the mountains a few times the past few months, and the vehicle felt confident and got good mileage.

I found a similar thread, the only difference is the model that was mentioned: https://www.subaruforester.org/threads/16-wheels-on-2014-forester.630233/ Edited October 13, 2021 by jannhall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
