I chose the Bridgestone weatherpeaks for my 21 forester. They were great in the rain on the highway and on dry gravel/dirt roads.
Pros: great in rain, dry roads

On Tuesday, I had new tires put on the car. Nothing special, some goodyear assurance all seasons. The new tires made a big difference in ride quality and handling.
Pros: improved ride quality, better handling

it was from the garbage head gasket era, and it still had its original factory head gaskets on it when I finally pulled the motor to turbo swap it earlier this year. It had 270,000km on it. So overall, for 10 years of ownership it was pretty damn reliable.
Pros: long lasting, original factory

Mileage: 270000 km
Akebono ceramic pads are pretty fantastic and low dust. EBC has a number of options. Don’t go out and buy some high performance spec pad and expect it to work on your daily driver. Some higher end pads meant for sport use are designed to be used such that they need to be heated up more for full performance. On a street car that’s not getting driven hard enough, the pads never heat up enough and you can get brake pad deposits on your rotors which ends up “feeling” like a warped rotor. TLDR: more expensive and higher performance isn’t always better for your application. Get the pad you need for your application.
Pros: fantastic, low dust
Cons: high performance pads issues

I'm on my third set of Pirelli Scorpion AT plus tires. IMO it's a wildly underrated tire. I put a lot of highway miles on my Forester, and while I haven't done any wild 4x4 stuff, they've never left me stranded.
Pros: wildly underrated tire
Cons: louder during last 30%

OEM rotors suck. I had a 2009 Forester before I bought my 2014 Outback Touring XT. I had to replace the front rotors numerous times due to warping which caused a shimmy when breaking. OEM would only last a couple of months and not many miles. Finally, I had enough and purchased a name brand from Rock Auto. That stopped the warping and shimmy.
Cons: warping, short lifespan

My forester XT was WAY worse though because eyesight needs thinner or softer glass
Cons: thinner/softer glass, way worse

I have a 2018 and had to get a new compressor. I have a great mechanic and he straight up tells me that Subaru a/c are just garbage. I have an ‘09 Corolla and a ‘17 F-150 work vehicle, and both of those put out ice cold a/c no issues. Even with the new a/c, coolant, and everything else, it still pretty weak.
Cons: weak performance, poor quality
