TROGDOR! Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Not by any noticeable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Stock size for a 2WD was most likely 165/70r13's.... But you have a carbed EA82, with a 3 speed auto, and the heaviest of the body types (wagon). You are lucky it can get out of it's own way..... with a running start! Get a WEBER.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It should be noticeable. I switched from 175/70's to 185/70's and noticed a decrease in acceleration. If you are running steel rims, you may want to find a set of alloys, those will also make a noticeable difference. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah I Already Bought 5 Aluminum Ones And The Car Came With 185's And I Was Reading The Manual And It Says Use 175's So I was Wondering If There Would Be A Big Difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Really not all that noticeable - but your speedo will be accurate again, and your mileage will increase. Again - if you want power, for the price of a set of tires, you can put on a Weber and keep the tires you have. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 There's a 2.38% difference in overall diameter between the 185/70/13 and the 175/70/13. I don't think it's going to make a huge (or even noticable) difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
