Like every other time you post this crap, I said taking the snorkel type thing that the car comes with off does nothing. I never went back on that statement. Now would you stop commenting that every time I bring up the WAI?

So this is probably a noob/dumb question, but: When putting on my winter tires today, is it safe enough to jack up one side at a time with my floor jack (not the subie one), remove all season, put on winter tire? Or should I put the jack stand as a safety measure as well for each side? I plan on just doing 1 wheel at a time...

Angelus, that's fine since you're not getting under the car. Just make sure the handbrake is on.

Normally i use jack stands, and i did the day prior, then i realized i had put them on the same corner as last year. Took about 5 min per side with the 2 jacks |

^Thanks, I'll try to use the jack stands too just to be safe. My floor jack is such a pain in the ass (harbor freight), it doesn't go high enough to easily get the car on the stands to take the wheels off

You can also slide the summer wheel and tire under the frame of car as well, you may have to jack the car up a little higher to do it. |

New subaru in the family, '14 XV limited. Nice to have a car with mostly the same build so I can transfer any knowledge pretty much directly.

If, however, I'm doing a job that requires getting all four tires off the ground at the same time (like a tire rotation, or flushing my brake fluid), or if I'm going to get under the car for any reason, then I absolutely use jack stands, and I lift the car higher into the air. |

Thats what I ended up doing last night, just the floor jack. I did have the stands underneath just in care somehow the jack gave, but overall it was pretty easy and safe. Luckily I have access to a garage now so that made it a lot easier. Bring on the snow today!
Also, I'm probably done on my stockers for next year, and there's a pretty big difference in the tread between the inner and outer portion of the tire. I've rotated them all at 7500 miles, I remember others talking about how bad the stock alignment was (camber etc). Hopefully I can get this corrected when I get new tires next spring. |

Heads up to my fellow roof rack nerds, just got a new range of matte black crossbars in recently for ski season. Some prototype stuff. pix for the interested:
(may have to blow the pictures up, taken w/ my phone) Front bar is a brand called RockyMounts based out of colorado, rear bar is the new(!) Thule aeroblade black bar. front is thule standard square, rear is Yakima standard round (my preferred on obp cars-looks awesome with a wind deflector too) side view of thule black aeroblades. Glare makes the color a little bright, but it really is a pretty deep matte grey. Also gives a good idea of tower height with the thule tower (450r tower in this case) The rails on these cars taper towards the back, which kind of sucks for the thule faithful as this is the smallest bar you can fit on there (believe me, I tried). Next year thule is coming out with a black aeroblade "edge" bar, that looks a lot more like the OEM crossbars. bring the snow |
