My '02 Outback also rarely put wear on its tires. I drove that one much more offroad too and it had Cooper Discoverers that held up extremely well in all weather - snow, rock roads, summer asphalt, muddy parking lots.
Had ko2's on my 03 outback and for the 3k miles it had them, they still looked brand new
I put new tires on it at 27,000 miles. Michelin all weather and they have worn no different from front to back, side to side. I keep up with rotation and haven’t had any odd wear.
I run them on both the wife’s Q5 and my WRX. I’ve run Blizzaks and Toyo winter tires and the Nokian tires are head and shoulders better than those
better steering, better brakes
We have a set on a Crosstrek and they're fantastic
I think the brake pedal has a good feel, but I absolutely have had an "oh shit" moment when I was cruising at 70mph and had to brake for traffic. They definitely underperform for a "sporty" car. But I wouldn't say they suck or dangerous
I blew through my EBCs on my VB super fast at the Glen.
Two days into owning my 2025 my wife noticed a small crack on the INSIDE of my new Forester. Fast forward two months I take the car on my first longer road trip. First day of the trip I catch a rock to the middle of the windshield and have a pretty bad chip.
I currently have a chip in my 25 forester, chipped at ~8k miles. Been waiting for the OEM windshield for a little over a month now and will be about another month before it’s estimated to arrive at the shop. Frustrating process
