I have owned several Subarus.
They eat tires if not rotated regularly and in the correct pattern.
Some of my Subarus required 7500 oil change intervals and that's a bit long for tire rotation.
My latest requires 6000 oil changes and the tires appreciate that interval more.
The rotation pattern is spelled out in your owner's manual.
Mine says to bring the two front tires straight back to the rear and to swap sides as you bring the rear tires to the front.
This way, over time, each tire sees service at each position.
Two hydraulic jacks make the job easier but I have heard that using the spare tire as a temporary substitute allows this to be done with only one jack.
