Tire pressure for 1997 subaru outback limited

Guest 25 April 2005 20:12:32
 Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what the numbers are? Bought a used outback last
week and looks like the driver side door has been replaced, and it
doesnt't have the numbers!

Thanks,
Venugopal

29 lb/in^2 front and 28 lb/in^2 rear. You can put more in the rear if
the cargo area is heavily loaded.

I discovered with my first Subaru (1988 GL 4x4 wagon) that Subaru,
unlike North American car manufacturers, gives reasonable recommended
tire pressures. When I drove Fords and Chevys I always ran the tires 2
or 3 lb/in^2 higher than the manufacturer's recommendation, else the
tires wore faster on the edges. I did the same thing with the first set
of tires on the 1988 Subaru, and they wore in the centre of the tread.
So their replacements were set at Subaru's figure for the 1988 wagon,
and they wore nicely. I have done the same thing with my 1997 Legacy
Outback, now about 9000 km into its third set of tires at 275,000 km
(got 114,000 km on the original Michelin XW4s and got 152,000 km on the
second set of tires which were Michelin X1s). So don't put excessive
pressure into the tires unless you want them to wear out in the centre
of the tread. (This advice might not be good for brands other than
Michelin, however.)

 Going with the 29/28 has proved itself to me. I ran 2 separate test in
which I ran the tires for month at 32 and another month at the 29/28.
Both times I ran the test I got 1+ mile a gallon better running at the
29/28. Not sure why, but with the price of gas right now... I will take
it!

Hi,
Might sound far fetched, but could it be that at 32 psi the diameter
increased to change the odo mileage??

thinking outside the box.....

Radial tires have a fairly constant outside diameter which
is not affected much by inflation pressure.

The rolling resistance will get lower with higher pressures
so it is more likely that better efficiency measured with lower
tire pressures might be due to other factors like temperature,
road condition, or more likely wind or speed.

My Legacy runs 'best' for me on its current tires with about 34/33.
