Continental DW Tires

Yes onzedge This installer doesn't want to put these tires on my car. But, no one has answered what if something goes wrong with the car. Will the dealership say you changed the tire size so the warranty is void.

You don't need to worry about warranty issues for a small change in tire size.

They are likely confused because in a Subaru you can VERY easily void your warranty by putting on tires that aren't exactly the same (tread depth within 2/32's, same brand, etc). You'll blow out your center diff pretty promptly, and the dealer will give you nothing but a nasty look. These guys are just covering their tails just in case.

One more question to all you proud Z owners who want a quieter ride. In comparing Continental DW and DWS which would ride better?

I've got the DWS and they're pretty quiet but not sure compared to DW. I would only get DWS if you'll ever be driving in low temps or light snow and maybe a little better tread wear.

Thanks for your reply Tasoline. I have a base model. Do you think changing the front tire size will greatly effect the car. The tires I'm looking at are 18/245.
