I've run General Altimax Arctics for years. Probably gone through 3-4 different sets on various WRX/STI, MQB cars, always happy with them. I did get a used set of wheels with Michelin XI3's and they're pretty okay for my current MK7. Pretty ok in dry weather but I found they didn't do great compared to the Altimax on a prior Mk7 GTI.
Pros: always happy with them

Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.
Pros: huge improvement expected
Cons: stock tires garbage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I would suggest a ball bearing turbo like the vf52 and a protune. It makes it much more reliable and wakes the car up since it has the same engine and came as the sti, but a tiny sleeve bearing turbo that spools before the cam. I'm really happy with my vf52.
Pros: more reliable, wakes car up
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Part number: VF52
Valvoline full synthetic 0W-20 changed every 5k, oil filters I prefer oem but recently it’s been whatever is on sale at advanced auto

I want to replace the alternator myself, but I can't find where to get OEM parts for a reasonable price. The dealership is charging $340 for the part and the best I can find is this [Bosch alternator](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C64QHE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=TXMF4LHVIWCE&coliid=IN63F3OG0M77W) on Amazon which they state is new, but it seems like all Bosch alternators are remanufactured. Why is it so damn complicated to find high-quality replacement alternators?!
Cons: remanufactured alternators
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
It’s absolute trash, stop using it.
A little back story I just recently did an oil change in my ‘20 WRX, was using Valvoline full synthetic and decided to try out Motul, noticed my oil temps went up 4-6° and started doing some research into oil. Discovered that Motul ranks 177 out of 244 oils tested for wear protection, Amazon basics and Walmart ranked higher.
Cons: oil temps went up
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have a 17 outback and have replaced windshield three times already. First when I had less than 1k miles.
Cons: replaced three times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 1000 km
