Tires Continental or OEM Subaru
I bought a set of continental LX25s and they've been great so far.
I think the OEM tires are crap so I changed them out about a month after I got the car. Went to Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's.
Continental Terrain Contact A/T…great tire in all conditions.
Man I got my first set of Continentals. I have 03 F150 4x4. Wow! Super smooth, very quite, and can’t see wear at 12k mikes now. Grip is amazing and best of all zero leaks! Pressure holding steady. On dirt roads the are stellar.
I have always used Conti Extreme Contacts on mine and have been very happy with the balance of grip and tire life.
I never hear much about this tire in the Subaru world but one of my favorites for a long time has been the Continental ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus
It is more of a sporty all season tire but always rates high in all areas. I live in the northeast and drive up to ski resorts frequently with no issues. I believe the CC2 may be rated slightly better in snow but only by a narrow margin.
replaced tires due to age, cracks with Continental ContiProContact - no more squeaks, nice grip
Yokohama Geolander G015s are a good choice, and I'm about to fit a set of Continental CrossContact AX6s to my Outback.
Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.
Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.
Oh, and my OEM tires Continental PureContacts wore out....fast! (And I run snows in winter). Crap tires I won't buy again.
