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

Not only is Subaru (Carlex) glass not required, you don't even want it if given a choice. Go for aftermarket glass, Pilkington if you can. Zero issues with eyesight after calibration.
Pros: zero issues with eyesight
Cons: Subaru glass not desirable

I have a 2020 Outback XT and the Rain-X Latitude fit the front 26 & 18 if you read included paperwork & pop off attachments.
Pros: fits the front

had really good luck with PIAA Aero Vogue part #s TireRack (cheapest place I found) 96145 & 96165, these also take refills and are Silicone based so they cause rain to bead and help preserve the rubber blade. My sister has them on her Outback and loves them. I might switch to them on my Highlander as I bought used and they put really crumby wipers on.
Pros: silicone based, cause rain to bead, preserve blade

Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.
Pros: Best rated for snow/ice
Cons: Dry/wet driving not good

I have Michelin Cross Climate 2’s on my 2019. They are a great tire.
Pros: great tire
Vehicle:

They’re meh, I went from having Michelin crossclimates on my 2010 to the OEM tires on my new OB. They do OK in snow, good in rain.
Pros: good in rain, OK in snow
Cons: they're meh

Like others have suggested, either get an OEM or Aisin water pump or be prepared to make this an annual event.
Cons: annual event

Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.
Cons: brittle, short lifespan
