Tires DUNLOP or Nokia
Check out the Nokian Tyre One. It has Aramid sidewalls, low rolling resistance, and 80k mileage warranty.
I tried the Nokian Outpost AT, and I don’t think road noise is bad at all. They’re 3PMSF too!
I had dunlop sport Max with SV6 17 inch rims on my 2009 ve international and man they were excellent tyres heaps of grip in the wet and of course in the dry aswell!
My winter SE tyres are nokian WR G4. These have a good balance of grip, life and rolling resistance. They are a little down on the stock UHP summer hankooks in 80+ weather. But in PA, they're likely a great all year choice.
I got these for my RL and have no regrets . Super quiet, excellent in rain and snow. I will only buy Nokians for my vehicles.
I can't find a detailed review of the Nokian One, but I have good experience with Nokian winter tires. They're comfortable and have great traction.
I'd go with the Nokian WR G4, which is an American all-weather version of Nokian's European performance winter tire, the WR A4. So it's basically a mild winter tire that can be used year-round.
I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.
Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.
Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.
That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.
Can confirm , the dunlops are absolute garbage in the snow. Bought a set of beater oem 16 wrx wheels off of marketplace today and will be slapping on some premium awd snow donut shoes tomorrow, almost hit a curb going five mph leaving a stoplight. They have as much traction in snow , as a puck has on a air hockey table.. prepare to buy tires if you live in a winter challenged climate .
Those tires are very low quality. Rubber is not soft and flexible enough to create proper friction.
