rotation

With everyones concern about transmissions one thing crossed my mind this week. Tire rotation. We have Outbacks as company cars and we rotate the tires every other oil change or about 6000 to 7500 miles. We lost a transmission once due to lack of care of the tires. We didn't rotate often and we would change two tires at a time instead of 4. It wasn't until the tire shop told us that Subaru sent every tire shop a note to advise their Subaru customers change their tires 4 at a time, not 3 or 2 or 1 but 4. And of course rotating tires make them last longer. We lost the transmission because of the stress we put on the transmission by the different tire sizes as they wore down. Just a reminder in case it wasn't common knowledge to some of us.

I can't stress that enough to those of us that runs different set of tires. You can have different tires if you have the FWD SVX but with the AWD SVX, you need to change them all at the same time. Cost more at the time but def. costs less than a tranny.
