Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.
Michelin is a great tire, higher price range but worth it if you got the dough.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, great daily tire, all season but incredible grip.
DH22 are indestructible, grippy, and tread holds up but they're very heavy and slow rolling (like noticably slow)
Dude. Michelin DH22.
The DH casing is stronger than continentals. It's bulletproof. Grip and mud clearing are leagues ahead of anything maxxis have.
Get rid of the stock tires and get Michelin City Grip 2's.
I switched to Michelin cross climate tires and find them to be a much better handling (especially in winter) tire albeit louder and less efficient. I’m willing to sacrifice some range for better handling.
I put Michelin defender IIs on my 2019. I’m steady at 3.4kwh down from 3.6. But, the huge difference in handling traction and overall feel of the car is amazing. The tires are “EV ready” and rated for 80k miles. 100% recommend them.
I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.
My XSE here in Canada came stock with Michelin Primacy, they are noisy.
