My 16 Outback is eating tires!!
Asked by Warthog101 Apr 30, 2019 at 05:15 PM about the 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 2016 Outback is literally eating tires! I have 75k, and put on new tires in
Jan 17, Jan 18, and need new ones now. I rotate the tires every service and
Did an alignment too. Any suggestions why I am not getting even 20k on the
tires? We don’t have excessive loads. Can’t understand why...,,

I don't know what type of driving you do or if you are running crappy tires but I can say that my Subaru gets fairly poor tire mileage in mountain driving which I attribute to the AWD. I do get more than 20k miles, probably 30 to 35K. Have your cars suspension inspected and aligned!
Any bad wear patterns on the tires? Post a photo if you can.

Our driving is basically back and forth 15 miles to work, and trips on the interstate. I am a very tame driver! We have had this problem since we barely got 20k on the original tires. Someone wondered if a rim could be bent, which might throw off all tires. My mechanic just says AWD eats tires, but this is crazy. Will take to a tire place and see if they can find an issue. Frustrating cuz the last subaru we had, a 2013 Impreza burned oil like crazy! Thanks!
