Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Standard equipped tires on subaru legacy 2. 5 wagons are bridgestone potenza re92 215/45/zr 17, supposedly an all year tire. This tire size does not appear in the drop down menu on the tire page, thus the tire indicated on that page is incorrect. The tire in question is the re 92 215/45/zr 17. These tires are dangerous on wet pavements and impossible to control on snow. They should not be sold in the northern us. I've had countless incidents trying to control the car in low speed stopping and in low to moderate speed turning in light to moderate snow conditions. I purchased a 4 wheel drive vehicle because of the snow conditions in upstate ny. Instead i have a car with tires that cannot handle even moderate winter conditions. These tires will ultimately result in someones injury and/or death. *nm
