problem #1

Outback 4WD

  • miles
Michelin tires and aluminum rims appear to be incompatible. Dealer cannot detect reason for continuing air loss. Have been filling tires with air almost as frequently as filling tank with gas. I think this is a safety hazard and because it is all tires or at least two or three, I need an answer regarding a cure. I am in touch with Subaru.
