Tires ADVAN or OEM Subaru
ADVAN Neova AD09s, no contest.
My 2017 Outback with winter tires is like on rail during snowy season. I have never driven a car this good on winter.
"200TW" ADVAN NEOVA AD09 last me about 25,000 miles even with an LSD.
I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires
Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.
They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.
On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.
Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.
the tires have been excellent all around. I run touge/mountain roads and I needed predictable cold grip and exceptional grip at temp.
I’ve got 18” Advan 052’s on my Restomod 930 and they feel great.
Mid tier sport tires:
Westlake RS Sport,
Sailun Attrezzo R01,
Westlake DS1 sport
Upper tier sport tires:
Michelin PS4,
Advan AD08/AD09
Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.
It's an '09 2.5 Special Edition auto. Likes: Fairly \"sporty\" feeling. Lots of features for what it's costing me. decent stereo. Cons: weak engine. drivers seat doesn't go back far enough. armrest is awful. fuel economy sucks for a car this size. crappy stock tires.
