need one Firestone Wilderness P225/60R16 tire

[Jade]

Hi all,

I know this is a rather strange request...

I recently cut the side wall of one of my OEM Subaru Outback tires, a
Firestone Wilderness P225/60R16. I know these are not the best tires
as far as handling and noise go, but they're on there and they've
still got a fair amount of life on them. I've had them on the 2001
Outback since I bought the car - it's got about 40,000. My question
is... does anyone happen to have an extra Firestone Wilderness
P225/60R16 I with life left I could purchase? I'd really like to
avoid buying four new tires if at all possible.

thanks!

You will likely need to get 4 tires as a new tire will be larger than your
existing tires and can damage the drive train. More info here:

You may be able to find a shop that can 'shave' your new tire down to
match the circumference of the older tires.

Yikes... a better question would be what would be the impact to my all wheel
drive system if I cannot find a tire that tread and wear levels close to
what I have. You may find the cost of buying four tires is cheap compared
to the damage you could do to the viscous-coupling locking center
differential or variable transfer clutch. Having one tire very different
also increases risk as the all wheel drive system cannot perform as
effectively.

I was in a friends Subaru a few years back going over 4th of July pass. We
had it in 4 WD when the car rear end slid around and we went into a spin.
We hit a cement wall at 40 mph head on. The reason... he decided to only
replace two of the four wheels. Since the accident I have been told by a
number of people, when it comes to AWD and 4 WD, replace all tires... your
life is worth a couple hundred dollars!
