Tires MICHELIN or KENDA
I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.
On my daily car (e39 BMW) I use Michelin CrossClimate tires, because it doesn't get realy hot or really snowy here (North-Western Europe). As for all seasons, they are considered pretty good.
But I put some pilot sport 4s on the sti for the first time this year and... What can you say, it's a completely different car. For handling, it shares absolutely nothing in common with the same car on economy tires.
I like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It's a well-rounded performance tire. Track ready, great handling wet and dry, comfortable on the road, 30k mi treadlife.
Just picked up some dirt cheap 26" tendrils to replace the nobbys on my stumpjumper commuter. Hope they do well with glass riddled roads, but honestly at $10 a pop it's not a big deal if they don't.
YEARS ago, had to be over 12 yrs, Kenda was selling FLAME tires for $5 each. I bought 30. I still have a few. They weigh a friggin ton, at least 2x more than a normal tire but they're pretty bulletproof and look cool.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s, MUCH better than the Falkens that came with the car.
BTW PS4S are expensive as hell right now!!
Buy some Michelins and be happy.
