Re: Outback Mileage with Goodyear TripleTred

 This is an awesome tire!

I put set on a 97 Subaru Outback and have over 8,000 miles on them. There
was no change to my gas mileage. What I did notice was with my old tires,
I had to turn up the stereo once I got on the freeway. I don't even touch
the dial now. You will not believe how quiet these tires are. I used to
think the reason I felt every crack in a road was the Outback's stiffer
suspension. The difference with these tires is incredible. I took a tight
circle freeway offramp with a 20 mph speed limit at 40 mph and the car took
the turn better than going 20 mph with the old tires. Where I used to get a
side lean in a corner, these tires hold solid and make cornering effortless.
They are also incredible in heavy rain. I just got back from taking them up
to mountains. While I was there I got to try the tires in snow, ice and
combo of slush and ice.

These tires have exceeded my expectations!

Your car doesn't lean to one side any more when taking a corner? How could the
tires have anything to do with that?

 Thanks to all who have responded. Looks like I have found the tires that
will be on my Outback soon.

I'm seeing some amazing reviews of this tire here in this newsgroup. It
must be pretty darned good to justify the price. Tirerack.com is selling
it for $91 each at the 205/60R15 size. That's far more than I've ever
paid. But maybe I will buy them when I'm in the market, which might not
be for another year.

I had no intention of spending that much on tires, but after reading the
specs, ratings, and reviews, I'm sold! My baby gets new shoes this week.

 On my 97 Legacy Wagon I seem to have lost about 2 mph, or nearly
10%, based on about 5 months experience. Love the tires though.
