Two problems related to tire sidewall have been reported for the 2001 Subaru Legacy. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Subaru Legacy based on all problems reported for the 2001 Legacy.
All four firestone, wilderness tires, size: p225/60r15, dot: bm19359-1 have rubber on sidewall that was peeling off. These tires have approximately 17,000 miles on them, and were original equipment on a 2001, Subaru, Legacy. Consumer was charged for the replacement tires.
I noticed that the outer layer of rubber has begun to come off on the sidewall, showing a white underlayer, near the lettering but not exclusively at the lettering. I looked at a similar model of Subaru and saw the same thing had happened to its tire. Since I have not had an accident, I am assuming that this is a tire failure. Please advise.
