Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What should Subaru Outback 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.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2014-2020 Subaru Outback?
Most 2014-2020 Subaru Outback cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What tyre size does the 2014-2020 Subaru Outback use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2014-2020 Subaru Outback include 225/65 R17, 225/60 R18. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
What does the chassis code BS mean for tyre choice?
The BS chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Subaru Outback. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
What wet grip should I look for on the Subaru Outback?
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.
