2015 Forester 2.0

[Cboonh]

Dueler sport is the better one. Good reviews even in tirerack.com. I think selling at 270 per piece for our size.

 

The stock tyre is dueler hl400, totally different class.

 

I also aiming the dueler sport for next tyre change. Our tyre size quite limited.

 

225/55R18 very rare.

The next closest size is 245/50R18 which is 0.4%+ difference.

 

I will be listing some of the tyres we can consider for XT stock 18" rim.

Yea, can't find much choices for 225/55r18. Dunno if it make sense to change when I get the vehicle. Getting more popular tyre size may be the way to go. 235/55 r18 or like you suggested 245/50 r18. FC will take another hit! Haha

 

Reading good things about the michelin premier a/s. But seems like locally no one carrying it.

Rim size is 18x7. 245 is out. Too wide. 235 is ok, but not ideal on 7in rims, better on 7.5in. Thus if you go for a more common sized tires, then likely the rim will have to go too.

Bros, so far my experience with the FXT stock tires is less than OK only in terms of overall performance. But then I have only driven 1500km and at at top speed of less than 120km/h so can't share much currently. Today me and my biz partner driving up to KL in my FXT so should be able to give a more extensive review this weekend on the tyre performance.

I think change rim will void warranty. Haha..

 

At least to the parts linked to the wheel.

Have a safe trip bro.

 

At 1500km, not only car just run-in, tyres also just run-in. Best is to drive safely and Don t push car or tyre to limit yet.

Darn! Thks for mentioning the rim size, totally overlooked it. Looks like choices are even more limited unless change rims.

Subaru has cut its forester prices by so much?

 

2.0L $119,800

2.0XT $128,800

 

And not yet given discount too. Almost same price as the Vezel liao.

Dear all

 

I am very keen on the Forester and also WRX. For those who upgraded the head unit to the pioneer model with gps, did you lose any of the steering wheel controls?

Hi, have not upgraded but have asked around a few installers. Most of them said the audio control buttons will still work but not the phone control buttons.

Tks for info. Happened to my current ride (6 year old car and not Subaru) too. I lost the use of "Audio Mute" when i changed my headunit.

Any recommendations for a tyre shop where I can get a 225/55r18? Dueler Sport or equivalent.

Hi all,

 

I am new here. I intend to get a forester XT. But i worry after warranty the servicing will be costly ?

 

Appreciate if someone can answer me.

[UncleAtas]

what makes you think that servicing before warranty expire is cheaper?

2.0L $119,800

is this not the same price as last round??

Hi all,

 

I am new to this thread. Car COE expires very soon, so really looking at options. Have narrowed down between QQ, Forester or MZ 3/6, after testing all the cars at the showrooms.

 

I love the Forester's engine, handling, acceleration and Sunroof. Not so good is the interior and fuel consumption. If you go to the Ubi showroom, the cup holders on the backseat are already falling off from the upholstery! I wonder how lasting the interiors are.

 

Some of the goodies that people have negotiated for similar cars include rear/front cameras, rike cool, front sensors, ceramic /rust coating, 3M floor mats, 1 year free insurance, petrol vouchers, and no tie-in of minimum loan period, etc.

 

Unfortunately the SE at Ubi doesnt seem to be able to give a good package. He just said can give front cam and floor mat zzz, not even overtrade, although I queried him on the low OMV and the margins Motorimage can play around with between car value and eventual sale price.

 

Appreciate if you can PM me or post here your SE contact and the package they can give? Cheers.
