    Michelin headache
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 16 September 2004

    YOUR problem is so common with Michelin that tyre dealers are being left with stocks of superseded tyres. To help out owners like yourself, dealers have a website with information on which tyres are available and where. Stuckey Tyre Service (Ph: 9386 5331) may be able to source three tyres to match your spare. Other than that, the replacement Michelin tyre is the XM1, and Stuckey has those for $146 each. They also say it will be better than the originals on your Subaru, which are susceptible to road noise.

    Answered by Graham Smith · 1 July 2004

    THE rate of wear on the rear tyres on all-wheel-drive cars will be higher because they're driving when the rear tyres on a front-wheel-drive car aren't. That said, the front tyres of both all-wheel-drives and front-wheel-drives wear at about the same rate, so the added wear is related to the rear tyres of the all-wheel-drive cars which will wear out at about the same rate as the front tyres.
