Direct Answer
Common Australian Subaru Solterra tyre sizes include 235/60R18 and 235/50R20, depending on grade and wheel package. Always confirm the tyre placard, current sidewall, load index and speed rating before ordering tyres.
| Subaru Solterra fitment | Common tyre size | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| 18 inch wheel package | 235/60R18 | Placard size, EV-suitable load rating, speed rating and tyre pressure. |
| 20 inch wheel package | 235/50R20 | Grade, wheel package, current sidewall and EV tyre suitability. |
| Non-standard or upgrade setup | 245/60R18, 255/45R20 and other references | Check clearance, rolling diameter, load rating and legal fitment before ordering. |
Because the Solterra is an EV with AWD, tyre choice should account for load rating, low noise, wet grip and even tread depth across all four tyres. Autosport Tyre World Magill can confirm the placard size and recommend suitable EV-friendly options for Adelaide driving.

FAQs
What tyre size does a Subaru Solterra use in Australia?
Common Subaru Solterra tyre sizes include 235/60R18 and 235/50R20, depending on grade and wheel package. The tyre placard and current sidewall remain the final check.
Does a Subaru Solterra need EV-specific tyres?
It does not always need a tyre branded only for EVs, but the replacement tyre should meet the correct size, load index, speed rating and driving needs. EV-friendly touring tyres can help with noise, grip and wear on heavier electric vehicles.
Can Autosport Tyre World Magill check Subaru Solterra Tyre Size fitment?
Yes. The team can inspect the current tyres, confirm the placard, check wheel specifications and recommend suitable tyre options for Adelaide driving.
Should I book a wheel alignment with new tyres?
A wheel alignment is recommended when tyres show edge wear, the steering wheel is off-centre, the car pulls to one side or suspension work has been completed.
What should I check before changing wheel size?
Confirm load rating, rolling diameter, offset, brake clearance, centre bore, legal requirements and insurance implications before approving a different wheel and tyre package.

When an older or enthusiast vehicle comes in, the tyre conversation should include more than brand and price. Autosport Tyre World Magill checks how the car is stored, how often it is driven, whether the suspension has been modified and whether the current wear pattern points to an alignment, balance or pressure issue. Those details are especially important around Adelaide, where hot summer roads, stop-start commuting and wet winter mornings can expose weak tyres quickly.
Bring the vehicle in with the current tyre size, any wheel information and how you use the car week to week. The team can then recommend a practical option, confirm availability and make sure the final fitment supports safe braking, predictable steering and even tyre wear.
