Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What does the chassis code BN mean for tyre choice?
The BN/BS chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Subaru Legacy. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.

What should Subaru Legacy drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
What wet grip should I look for on the Subaru Legacy?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
How long should tyres last on the 2014-2020 Subaru Legacy?
Typical UK tread life on the Subaru Legacy is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.
