Tires and wheels

Types of tires

You should be familiar with type of tires present on your vehicle.

All season tires
All-season tires are designed to provide an adequate measure of traction, handling, and braking performance in year-round driving including snowy and icy road conditions. However, all-season tires do not offer as much traction performance as winter (snow) tires in heavy or loose snow or on icy roads. All season tires are identified by “ALL SEASON” and/or “M+S” (Mud & Snow) on the tire sidewall.

Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed capability tires best suited for highway driving under dry conditions. Summer tires are inadequate for driving on slippery roads such as on snow-covered or icy roads. If you drive your vehicle on snow-covered or icy roads, we strongly recommend the use of winter (snow) tires. When installing winter tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

Winter (snow) tires
Winter tires are best suited for driving on snow-covered and icy roads. However, winter tires do not perform as well as summer tires and all-season tires on roads other than snow-covered and icy roads.

Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) (if equipped)
The tire pressure monitoring system provides the driver with a warning message by sending a signal from a sensor that is installed in each wheel when tire pressure is severely low. The tire pressure monitoring system will activate only when the vehicle is driven. Also, this system may not react immediately to a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example, a blow-out caused by running over a sharp object). If you adjust the tire pressures in a warm garage and will then drive the vehicle in cold outside air, the resulting drop in tire pressures may cause the low tire pressure warning light to illuminate. To avoid this problem when adjusting the tire pressures in a warm garage, inflate the tires to pressures higher than those shown on the tire inflation pressure label. Specifically, inflate them by an extra 1 psi (6.9 kPa, 0.07 kg f/cm2) for every difference of 108F (5.68C) between the temperature in the garage and the temperature outside. By way of example, the following table shows the required tire pressures that correspond to various outside temperatures when the temperature in the garage is 608F (15.68C).

Example:
Tire size: P205/55R16 89V, 205/50R17 89V and P225/40R18 88V

Standard tire pressures:

  • Front: 33 psi (230 kPa, 2.3 k gf/cm2)
  • Rear: 32 psi (220 kPa, 2.2 kg f/cm2)
  • Garage temperature: 608F (15.68C)
 

Outside temperature

Adjusted pressure [psi (kPa, kgf/cm2)]
Front Rear
308F (−18C) 36 (250, 2.5) 35 (240, 2.4)
108F (−128C) 38

(265, 2.65)

37

(255, 2.55)

−108F (−238C) 41 (280, 2.8) 39 (270, 2.7)

If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates when you drive the vehicle in cold outside air after adjusting the tire pressures in a warm garage, re-adjust the tire pressures using the method described above. Then, increase the vehicle speed to at least 20 mph (32 km/h) and check to see that the low tire pressure warning light turns off a few minutes later. If the low tire pressure warning light does not turn off, the tire pressure monitoring system may not be functioning normally. In this event, go to a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected as soon as possible. While the vehicle is driven, friction between the tires and the road surface causes the tires to warm up. After illumination of the low tire pressure warning light, any increase in the tire pressure caused by an increase in the outside air temperature or by an increase in the temperature in the tires can cause the low tire pressure warning light to turn off. It may not be possible to install TPMS valves on certain wheels that are on the market. Therefore, if you change the wheels (for example, a switch to snow tires), use wheels that have the same part number as the standard equipment wheels. Without four operational TPMS valves/sensors on the wheels, the TPMS will not fully function and the warning light on the combination meter will illuminate steadily after blinking for approximately one minute.

WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light does not illuminate briefly after the ignition switch is turned on or the light illuminates steadily after blinking for approximately one minute, you should have your Tire Pressure Monitoring System checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. If this light illuminates while driving, never brake suddenly. Instead, perform the following procedure. Otherwise, an accident involving serious vehicle damage and serious personal injury could occur.

  1. Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed.
  2. Slowly pull off the road to a safe place.If this light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may have significant damage and a fast leak that causes the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible.
  3. When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel rim is replaced without the original pressure sensor/transmitter being transferred, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate steadily after blinking for approximately one minute. This indicates the TPMS is unable to monitor all four road wheels. Contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible for tire and sensor replacement and/or system resetting. If the light illuminates steadily after blinking for approximately one minute, promptly contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected.

TPMS valve self-registration
When the wheels are replaced (such as when installing snow tires) or when a new TPMS valve is mounted on a new installed wheel, you will need to perform TPMS valve self-registration. Refer to the following procedure to perform TPMS valve self-registration.1. Install the wheels with TPMS valves on the vehicle. Adjust the tire pressure to the specified value. Drive at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least 4 miles (6 km) or until the low tire pressure warning light turns off.

NOTE

  • When installing TPMS valves, use only genuine SUBARU parts.
  • Registration of TPMS valves can also be done at a SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer.

Tire inspection
Check on a daily basis that the tires are free from serious damage, nails, and stones. At the same time, check the tires for abnormal wear. Contact your SUBARU dealer immediately if you find any problem.

NOTE

  • When the wheels and tires strike curbs or are subjected to harsh treatment as when the vehicle is driven on a rough surface, they can suffer damage that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This type of damage does not become evident until time has passed. Try not to drive over curbs, potholes or other rough surfaces. If doing so is unavoidable, keep the vehicle’s speed down to a walking pace or less, and approach the curbs as squarely as possible. Also, make sure the tires are not pressed against the curb when you park the vehicle.
  • If you feel unusual vibrations while driving or find it difficult to steer the vehicle in a straight line, one of the tires and/or wheels may be damaged. Drive slowly to the nearest authorized SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.

Tire pressures and wear
Maintaining the correct tire pressures helps to maximize the tires’ service lives and is essential for good running performance. Check and, if necessary, adjust the pressure of each tire and the spare (if equipped) at least once a month and before any long journey.Subaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

Tire inflation pressure label
Check the tire pressures when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire inflation pressure label. The tire inflation pressure label is located on the door pillar on the driver’s side. Driving even a short distance warms up the tires and increases the tire pressure. Also, the tire pressures are affected by the outside temperature. It is best to check tire pressure outdoors before driving the vehicle.

Maintenance and service/Tires and wheelsSubaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

  1. Correct tire pressure (tread worn evenly)
  2. Road holding is good, and steering is responsive. Rolling resistance is low, so fuel consumption is also lower.
  3. Underinflated tire (tread worn on shoulders)
  4. Rolling resistance is high, so fuel consumption is also higher.
  5. Overinflated tire (tread worn in the center)
  6. Ride comfort is poor. Also, the tire magnifies the effects of road-surface bumps and dips, possibly resulting in vehicle damage
  7. If the tire inflation pressure label shows tire pressures for the vehicle when fully loaded, adjust the tire pressures to the values that match the loading conditions.

WARNING
Driving at high speeds with excessively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly heat up. A sharp increase in temperature could cause tread separation and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.

Wheel balance
Each wheel was correctly balanced when your vehicle was new, but the wheels will become unbalanced as the tires become worn during use. Wheel imbalance causes the steering wheel to vibrate slightly at certain vehicle speeds and detracts from the vehicle’s straight-line stability. It can also cause steering and suspension system problems and abnormal tire wear. If you suspect that the wheels are not correctly balanced, have them checked and adjusted by your SUBARU dealer. Also, have them adjusted after tire repairs and after a tire rotation.

CAUTION
Loss of correct wheel alignment causes the tires to wear on one side and reduces the vehicle’s running stability. Contact your SUBARU dealer if you notice abnormal tire wear.

NOTE
The suspension system is designed to hold each wheel at a certain alignment (relative to the other wheels and to the road) for optimum straight-line stability and cornering performance.

Wear indicators

  1. New tread
  2. Worn tread
  3. Tread wear indicator

Each tire incorporates a tread wear indicator, which becomes visible when the depth of the tread grooves decreases to 0.063 in (1.6 mm). A tire must be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.

WARNING
When a tire’s tread wear indicator becomes visible, the tire is worn beyond the acceptable limit and must be replaced immediately. With a tire in this condition, driving at high speeds in wet weather can cause the vehicle to hydroplane. The resulting loss of vehicle control can lead to an accident.

NOTE
For safety, inspect the tire tread regularly and replace the tires before their tread wear indicators become visible.

The rotational direction of tiresSubaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

Example of rotational direction marked on the sidewall

Front
If the tire has a specific rotational direction, refer to the arrow marked on the sidewall. The arrow should be pointing forward when the wheels are fitted.

Tire wear varies from wheel to wheel. Move the tires to the positions shown in the illustration each time they are rotated. For the tire rotation schedule, refer to the “Warranty and Maintenance Booklet”. Replace any damaged or unevenly worn tires at the time of rotation. After tire rotation, adjust the tire pressures and make sure the wheel nuts are correctly tightened. After driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km), check the wheel nuts again and retighten any nut that has become loose.

Tire replacement
The wheels and tires are important and integral parts of your vehicle’s design; they cannot be changed arbitrarily. The tires fitted as standard equipment are optimally matched to the characteristics of the vehicle and were selected to give the best possible combination of running performance, ride comfort, and service life. It is essential for every tire to have a size and construction matching those shown on the tire inflation pressure label and to have a speed symbol and load index matching those shown on the tire inflation pressure label. Using tires of a non-specified size detracts from controllability, ride comfort, braking performance, speedometer accuracy, and odometer accuracy. It also creates incorrect body-to-tire clearances and inappropriately changes the vehicle’s ground clearance.

WARNING
When replacing or installing tire(s), all four tires must be the same for the following items.

  • Size
  • Speed Symbol
  • Load Index
  • Circumference
  • Construction
  • Manufacturer
  • Brand (tread pattern)
  • Degrees of wear
    For items (a) to (c), you must obey the specification that is printed on the tire inflation pressure label. The tire inflation pressure label is located on the driver’s door pillar.

If all four tires are not the same for items (a) to (h), serious mechanical damage could be caused to the drivetrain of the car, and affect the following.

  • Ride
  • Handling
  • Braking
  • Speedometer/Odometer calibration
  • Clearance between the body and tires It also may be dangerous and lead to loss of vehicle control, and it can lead to an accident.
  • Use only radial tires. Do not use radial tires together with belted bias tires and/or bias-ply tires. Doing so can dangerously reduce controllability, resulting in an accident.

Wheel replacement
When replacing wheels due, for example, to damage, make sure the replacement wheels match the specifications of the wheels that are fitted as standard equipment. Replacement wheels are available from SUBARU dealers.

WARNING
Use only those wheels that are specified for your vehicle. Wheels not meeting specifications could interfere with brake calliper operation and may cause the tires to rub against the wheel well housing during turns. The resulting loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident.

NOTE
When any of the wheels are removed and replaced for a tire rotation or any other reason, always check the tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque.

Wheel covers (if equipped) Removing the wheel coverSubaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

If your vehicle has wheel covers, remove them by holding and pulling the areas indicated in the illustration.

CAUTION
Use gloves to protect your hands when removing wheel covers.Subaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

Align the valve with the valve hole in the cover, then fit the cover on the wheel by tapping your hand evenly around the circumference of the cover.

Alloy wheels (if equipped)
Alloy wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance, performance, and safety.

  • When any of the wheels are removed and replaced for a tire rotation or to change a flat tire, always check the tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque.
  • Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surfaces of the wheel.
  • Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or curbs.
  • When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the centre cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine SUBARU parts designed for alloy wheels.
  • When stacking and storing removed tires, place shock-absorbing material between the tires to protect the wheels from becoming scratched.

Windshield washer fluidSubaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

When there is only a small amount of washer fluid remaining, the windshield washer fluid warning light will illuminate. When this occurs, refill the washer fluid.

Adding the windshield washer fluid
Never use engine coolant as washer fluid because it could cause paint damage.

Subaru Impreza 2023 Tires and wheels Base Sedan

Remove the washer tank filler cap, then add windshield washer fluid.

 Windshield washer fluid
Use windshield washer fluid. If windshield washer fluid is unavailable use clean water. In areas where water freezes in winter, use an anti-freeze type windshield washer fluid. If you fill the reservoir tank with a fluid with a different concentration from the one used previously, purge the old fluid from the piping between the reservoir tank and washer nozzles by operating the washer for a certain period of time. Otherwise, if the concentration of the fluid remaining in the piping is too low for the outside temperature, it may freeze and block the nozzles.

CAUTION

  • Adjust the washer fluid concentration appropriately for the outside temperature. If the concentration is inappropriate, sprayed
    washer fluid may freeze on the windshield and obstruct your view, and the fluid may freeze in the reservoir tank.
  • State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds may restrict the use of methanol, a common windshield washer anti-freeze additive. Washer fluids containing non-methanol anti-freeze agents should be used only if they provide cold weather protection without damaging your vehicle’s paint, wiper blades or washer system.

Replacement of wiper blades
Grease, wax, insects, or other material on the windshield or the wiper blade results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove the streaks after operating the windshield washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield and rear window using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaner. Do not, however, use detergent to clean the blade rubbers. Use only a sponge or soft cloth (and no neutral detergent or mild abrasive cleaner) when you clean the blade rubbers. If you wipe the rubber of the blade strongly, the black coating component will peel off, which will cause the wiper to judder. Also, after wiping it off, check that the rubber has not come loose. After cleaning the window glass and wiper blade rubbers, be sure to rinse them with clean water. Rinse the window until the water does not form beads on the glass. This indicates that the glass is clean.

CAUTION

  • Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the
    wiper blades.
  • While removing the wiper blades from the wiper arms, do not return the wiper arms to their original positions. Otherwise, the windshield surface may be scratched.
  • When returning the raised wiper arms to their original positions, carefully return the wiper arms on the windshield by hand. You should not return the wiper arms to the windshield only by the return spring. Otherwise, the wiper arms may be deformed, and/or the windshield surface may be scratched.
  • When you are going to raise the passenger-side wiper arm, first raise the driver-side wiper arm. Otherwise, the passenger-side
    wiper assembly and driver-side wiper assembly will touch each other, possibly resulting in scratches.
  • Return the passenger-side wiper arm to its original position before returning the driver-side wiper arm to its original position. Otherwise, the passenger-side wiper assembly and driver-side wiper assembly will touch each other, possibly resulting in scratches.
