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.
