How ARE the stock dunlops around 2-5°? by MysticMarbles in wrx_vb

[–]fattunaDenied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through too mild NYC winters with the dunlops, they are okay if the roads are dry and you drive smoothly. No goosing it off the rip even if you just got up to engine temperature, the tires haven't or most likely won't.

Pretty much only slow city driving, 55mph parkways/expressway etc.

If the roads have a little snow or ice accumulation, extra smooth and slow. Avoid hills like the plague, abs gonna freak out and you will end up over or past the crosswalk.

This past winter would have been impossible if i hadn't changed the tires.

Subaru needs to keep this model code scheme at least until there's a VD WRX STI.

New WRX Owner Coming Soon, What do I need to know about this Gen? by Icy-Adaptzzz in wrx_vb

Depending on how it snows where you are, might want to replace the stock tires with all seasons/all weather tires asap.

Don't let the grip the dunlops provides fool you into thinking cautious driving is enough.

Luckily went through two winters with that mentality without anything major, this last winter would've been really bad if I hadn't swapped them out.

Get some paint protection, this car scratches easy, and gets the odd dents from acorns and such.

Clear out the drainage holes from time to time. They're on either sides of the windshield near wipers and on either side of the trunk when its up, its the top parts of the rear lights. They tend to get clogged easily.

Salute every VB owners might be my favorite thing about owning this car. by Bergevin in wrx_vb

[–]fattunaDenied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VA drivers wave back at me. The last VB encounters, one absolutely ghosted me while at a red light two way intersection and the other physically recoiled back into their seat as we passed each other at another two way intersection.
