Tires Giti or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.
Pros: reliable tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
Winter tires are significantly superior to AWD. Should you question that.
Pros: superior to AWD
My 22 WRX was also good in the snow, there was times where people were getting stuck especially on hills and I would just cruise by with no issues. I had pilot sport all season 4 tires which are only meant for light snow and I had no issues.
Pros: good in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.
Pros: beast in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Another alternative is to look for budget tier tires. I went down the rabbit hole recently and Giti is apparently decent enough and performs well as its branded peers in wet conditions.
Pros: performs well in wet
Ive heard of laufenn but im more familiar with Giti as you see there stuff rebranded in the US as GT Radial and Dextero which are popular in discount tire and walmart. They’re a good budget tire but dont expect 50k out of them. I find most budget tires feel just as good as the more expensive stuff with their longevity being the main drawback
Pros: good budget tire
Cons: longevity being drawback
Mie mașina de noua a venit cu cauciucuri Giti, nu am auzit de ei, mașină de aproape 40k. Ce sa fac, sa le arunc și să dau 1500€ pe Continental? Merg cu alea până le suna ceasul, apoi iau ceva mai bun.
Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.
Cons: poor wear and tear, short lifespan
Mileage: 12000 km
My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.
Cons: burst, poor in hot weather
Mileage: 35000 km
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
Cons: tires not lasting, early replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
