I've read allot of the posts and this seems to be a commom problem in the 2002 WRX's after about 7000 Miles. I just notice mine shuddering last month. You dealer should know about this and it's not the tires. One guy actually posted the technical bulletin from Subaru Japan to the dealers stating the problem.
There is a cure, but it's costly and time consuming for the dealer that's why he's giving you this B.S. tire story.

It has since been fixed at the factory for the 2003's

Car Info: 02 WRX wagon=dead; rollin' in a Craptastic Camry!
Question

I've never heard of this problem before. What gear are you in at 40mph when you experience the shudder? Perhaps you are lugging the motor?
