2021 Subaru Impreza Tires in Thornton, CO | Mike Shaw Subaru

The published maintenance schedule calls for inspecting and rotating the wheels and tires every 6,000 miles. Regular inspections are especially useful for this all-wheel-drive vehicle because tread depth should remain closely matched. Service can also address wear noticed between visits.

• Manufacturer interval: every 6,000 miles
• Inspection includes all four tires
• Rotation follows the vehicle and fitted tires

The rotation follows the pattern specified for the vehicle and its drivetrain. The inspection can identify uneven wear, vibration concerns, or tread indicators that are level with the tread. A recommendation for rotation or replacement is based on what the tires show.

• Four-tire tread measurement
• Manufacturer-specified rotation
• Pressure adjustment and monitoring-system reset

Directional tread can limit where a tire may move, and staggered fitments can change the available rotation positions. The actual tires fitted determine the correct approach, so the service inspection should guide the rotation rather than assuming one pattern. Keeping tread depths close is important for an all-wheel-drive vehicle.

• Drivetrain: all-wheel drive
• Directional tires affect movement
• Staggered fitments can change the pattern

A mismatched tread depth can load the all-wheel-drive driveline, which is why the answer differs from a two-wheel-drive vehicle. The right recommendation depends on the measured tread depth, tire condition, and the tires actually fitted. An inspection can determine whether replacement of one, several, or all four is appropriate.

• All-wheel drive favors a closely matched set
• Tread depth is measured on all four tires
• Replacement follows inspection results

A tread-depth indicator level with the tread is a visible warning, and a failed penny test is another general check. Uneven tread wear and vibration at highway speed also justify an inspection. Tire service measures all four tires and provides a replacement recommendation based on their condition.

• Check the moulded tread-depth indicator
• Use the penny test as a general check
• Schedule an inspection for vibration or uneven wear

The appointment includes tread-depth measurement on all four tires and a rotation or replacement recommendation based on what is found. Mike Shaw Subaru is located at 1650 W 104th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80234. You can also check current service specials before booking.
