Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Subaru Legacy IV (BP) 2.0i wagon drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have them for only 3000km on my Subaru Legacy 2.0 and they are great. They are more than great on the wet surfaces and this is the most crucial of a tire for my opinion as in the dry most of them are perfect. If you want more... I am not so sure yet. I had in my car Falken 310 and Hankook ventus prime 3 and they are better than both of them. I have no say about how they will handle time and wear. The Hankooks were better than Falken in general (even if the falken was more a handling tire). My only problem with tme was that they were V speed rated and I wanted H but the merchandiser in Greece didn't import the V rated version.
I will get back after 15000 km.

I had these on the back of my four wheel drive estate. They lasted 12,000 miles through summer and never lost grip in the wet or dry, but it would be more interesting to try them on the front next time. Aside from average wear resistance, the only issue I have with them is the necessity to inflate the tires slightly over recommended/other brands to make them sit comfortably. I think for the right price these can be a good middle range tire. They DID loose grip when heavily worn in the wet, actually quite considerably. Not a problem when new/moderately worn.
I have them on my Subaru Legacy 2004 wagon and it is actually the only tire to have used with that car as I fitted them directly when bought it 1,5 year ago. They are now 30000km and have a lot of thread to wear. I suspect they will last easily another 20000km. They are not used in an enthusiastic way as this is a heavy family car but the limits on the bends are huge. I have had a problem with them from the beginning with the braking. I am not very satisfied with them as I think is more to the tires issue and not the car's. They block easily. I will not buy them again as I need to experiment with other tires and maybe I am wrong about the feel and braking.
