Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper
I have them on my 2016 forester 2.5. I live in the middle of Indiana so for half of the year it rains somewhat regularly. Personally, I think the tire is great. I have made turns too quickly while the roads were wet and didn't slide around at all. Accelerating and braking, i consider the traction to be very good in all conditions.
Out of these options.
Cooper 10/10
Personally, I like Uniroyals but Cooper is good too.
Coopers are WAY better tires than the Uniroyal or Westlake...
The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.
My mother drives her Hyundai i20 on Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and is happy with them.
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
I use Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my 2018 Forester but I live in the east coast of Canada.
Oh and this in on new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks - I swapped out the stock trash - poor ratings even in rain - immediately.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
