Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
CC2 is a great choice! Have had them on a few different Subaru’s. If you’re in Idaho as your name would allude, you’ll love them! Rolling resistance is good. For context, my new 2026 Limited XT Outback is averaging just over 25.5 mpg with them on. Car is still going through break in too. Also have worn them through the summers on my old Outback and have gone to numerous trailheads and such.
I’m on my second AWD car with CC2s. Subaru Impreza wagon and a Hyundai AWD Ioniq5. Pros are great snow & wet handling and braking & adequate dry handling combined with lower rolling resistance than most for better mileage.
I went with the 255/40R20 Michelin CC2 - mostly based on all-weather capability (had them on a previous SUV) and the longer treadwear warranty which I needed based on my requirement of being able to get two winter seasons out of them before hitting 6/32 of tread remaining.
Stock tires are crap, Michelin Cross Climate is the best.
Kumuha ako sa kanila ng Yokohama Advan Fleva, 1K-ish cheaper than other shops (yes, even sa Yokohama mismo)
Subaru. I have difficulty breaking traction in a crosstrek sport (2.5l) with Michelin CC2 tires in light snow. I can’t see how anything could be better.
Getting 17k miles out of tires on an X7 is honestly *great*. Most are shot by 10-12k.
Yokohama A052, best 200 thread tyre avaible on the market personally.
Took my PB down at Tazio Nuvolari 10s after 2 sessions.
I just put them on my Forester and am now struggling to maintain 30mpg whilst before I was sitting between 34 - 36 depending on how many red lights I caught that week. I kind of wish I had gone with the Defender 2 series or another touring tire personally as I already have Blizzak WS90s on my Wrx STi that I can use for heavy snow
Pilot Sport A/S 3+ Basically no grip on anything cold and snowy. I don't know how any of you use these where it snows with any frequency.
