As for buying four new tires for the Subaru when one goes bad, I read that a new tire can be shaved to conformed to the ones on the vehicle. It's done at speed shops.

There is a Subaru dealer in MA that gives a free
lifetime powertrain warranty and free tire for the life of the vehicle. I wish I lived closer to the MA state line.

In snow country you need winter tires. I routinely pass AWD RAV4's with the driver clinking to the steering wheel in deep snow conditions with my FWD Rav4 with winter tires .

That sounds real smart - buy a new tire and have half the tread ground off! :doh:

It is smart when your 8/32 tires have one needing replacement and the new tire is 10/32 and the 1/8" difference will harm your drive line.
