2014 Subaru Outback Tires in Thornton, CO | Mike Shaw Subaru

There is no mileage interval stated for this model year in this service guidance. The vehicle's service history and the condition of the tires also help determine when an inspection is appropriate.

• Have all four tires checked for uneven wear.
• Use the manufacturer-specified rotation pattern.
• Schedule an inspection when vibration or irregular wear appears.

The inspection helps determine whether the tires should be rotated or replaced based on their condition. Uneven wear, highway-speed vibration, or a tread indicator level with the tread should be discussed during the visit.

• Measurement of tread depth across all four tires.
• Rotation based on the vehicle and tires fitted.
• Recommendation based on inspection findings.

Directional tread and staggered fitments can change how tires may be moved, so the actual tires fitted must be considered. The manufacturer-specified pattern is used for this vehicle, with the goal of keeping tread wear balanced across all four wheels.

• All-wheel drive makes balanced tread important.
• Directional tread can limit how a tire is repositioned.
• Staggered fitments can affect the permitted rotation approach.

A mismatched tread depth can load the all-wheel-drive driveline, which is why this question differs from a two-wheel-drive vehicle. An inspection of the existing set and the vehicle's service history determines whether rotation, individual replacement, or replacement of the full set is appropriate.

• Measure tread depth on every tire before deciding.
• Compare wear across the front and rear positions.
• Follow the recommendation based on the fitted tires and inspection.

These signs do not identify the correct replacement decision by themselves. A technician can measure all four tires and assess their condition, wear pattern, and compatibility with the all-wheel-drive system.

• Look for uneven wear across the tire set.
• Check whether the moulded tread indicator is level with the tread.
• Book an inspection after noticing highway-speed vibration.

The service visit includes measuring tread depth on all four tires, rotating them when appropriate, setting pressure to the vehicle placard specification, and resetting the tire pressure monitoring system. The inspection determines whether rotation or replacement is recommended.
