I'm on set number 5 right now, and they are one of the best all terrain tires for ride quality I've driven, and I've driven Subarus for over 40 years.
Pros: best all terrain tires

Ran the 365AW on my Forester & found it to be a competent tire for the freak weather events that happened before/after the winters being on.
Pros: competent tire
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Recently picked up a set of general altimax 365aw for my 2013 XV. They seem to handle rain fantastic and seem to be well lugged/siped for snow. Not a dedicated snow tire, but better than all seasons!
Pros: handle rain fantastic
Vehicle:
Subaru XV
Those Nokian's are one reason I went and purchased a Subaru in 2013.
Friend has the Hakkapeliitta's on his Outback.
On the year it snowed heavily, had an emergency call out. I wasn't going anywhere.
He called and said "I'll take you" and my reply was "in what? A snowmobile?" His reply " no, Outback". I was like yeah..sure
Half hour, I hear his horn outside. He takes us to a lot not plowed and said get in and drive.
I was like, OK I'm close to home, I can walk back.
I put it in drive, sep on the gas and HOLY SHIT! It was amazing!
He took me on the parkway, people sliding, going off into grass or worse. Us? Cruising like it was spring.
Found he had the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's on. Damn things are so good, you could climb a tree
On the way back, we pulled out countless cars, SUV's and trucks from snowbanks, woods etc.
That sold me on both Subaru and those Hakkapeliitta's!
Pros: amazing grip, climb a tree
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have 45k miles on my 2016 STI and just replaced all 4 rotors and pads with another set of Brembos. I don’t drive the car particularly hard and probably could have waited a bit longer but they are done now so I shouldn’t have to worry about them. Cost me about 1k all-in, parts and labor.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 45000 km
Also if you can, get Goodyear assurance. We had them on my husband's old car and they were good. Very little road noise, compared to the cheap Kelly edges the dealership put on his Impreza before we bought it.
Pros: little road noise
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
NAPA Gold filter (Wix) and Mobil 1. Great results on last two Legacys.
Pros: Great results
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I ended up putting these RainX on my 20'. They do snap in... they just look stupid AF with so much clip being unused.
Pros: snaps in
Cons: looks bad, unused clip
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
Cons: noisier, jittery, mushy
Vehicle:
Subaru
Tried the Michelin’s from Costco and they were horrible. Didn’t conform to the windshield and would skip along the windshield. Would not recommend.
Cons: horrible, didn't conform, skipped
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
