PS4S
Michelins are worth double compared to generals.
I used Michelin 2ct in the front and Michelin road 6 in the back for one season because the front lasts way longer than the rear. Had no problems.
I have always used Conti Extreme Contacts on mine and have been very happy with the balance of grip and tire life.
I’ve tried Pirelli, Bridgestone and Michelin.
The Michelin’s ride is way smoother and softer.
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.
I'm about 7 months into CC2s on my 2021 Forester and I'm now a fan. It took some getting used to but the driving has been really comfortable. Really good grip in wet weather and I'm not really seeing much if any dip in MPG. On longer trips I'm still clocking 34-35 MPG. For the noise people mentioned, I don't notice much of a difference from the stock tires - Bridgestone Ecopias.
I have them on my Forester, like them a lot. I don't notice the noise too much, but the Forester is rather loud anyways. They seem to be wearing at a normal rate.
Running Conti ExtremeContact DWS06+ on my A3. Tires have 15k mikes and have never curbed the wheels/tires. Tires have wear roughly halfway down the sidewall.
Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
