Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
I've gotten Michelin Pilots fitted and can't go wrong, they're pretty decent tires.
+1 on PSS. Best all around tire with a perfect blend of dry and wet grip, turn in response, longevity, road noise, etc. I'm going to be grabbing my second set in a few days after getting 22,000 miles on my first.
I run Michelin X-Ice on my stock 17" wheels.
I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.
Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.
Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.
Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?
I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.
I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.
I run Michelin XLT 'all-seaon mud and snow' tires, which are great in rain and ok in light snow, but frankly in real winter-y conditions are not good enough.
