Tires Continental or Goodyear
My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.
Good year assurances is what I got they look good on the stock rim plus got hella grip and last a while
Goodyear Eagle A/S are pretty solid, got about 42,000 miles out of them.
I've always had good performance out of Conti GPs. I've tried other brands but keep coming back to them.
If so, I'll be happy to support Goodyear and buy my next tires from them!
I wanted to post my thoughts after a first winter drive with these Contis. They are stock 19" tires on my R and came with the vehicle. The VikingContact 7s have been more than excellent. Compared to the Conti TS830s, I definitely do not feel like I am at times running a summer tire in the winter. For this winter I feel completely confident in bad conditions like the X Ice 3 was. However, the HUGE plus is on dry conditions which happens a lot during winter here. I always felt the slight sponginess of the X Ice 3 (18s would have made a difference for sure), but these VikingContact 7s in dry are spectacular. They truly do everything in winter extremely well, and I would never think of buying another tire again...they are that good.
Just swapped out my stock 32s for GP5000 28s and it’s noticeably faster.
I know it wasn’t included in the ask, but the Continental LX25 are a fantastic tire as well. We live in Northeast PA and these have been great all around. I’ve used Continentals for almost 20 years and haven’t been disappointed yet.
Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.
Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.
I got rid of the Continentals because the rubber was way too soft. I was always getting flats in those tires.
