Tires NITTO or Cooper
I don't have experience with Kellys, but so far enjoying my Coopers.
Honestly, I'd take Cooper over Kelly without hesitation... Not that I have a problem with Kelly, but I have a lot of experience with Cooper and currently have them on my daily driver.
Nitto (Toyo sister company) makes the Recon Grappler in some large SL rated sizes and they remain light at 40-50#s.
They were great for me. Looked awesome and held up for 40k miles or so.
The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.
I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.
So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.
Super happy with them. Much quieter than expected and super grippy. Significantly lighter than the Falkans.
Nitto neo gen seem to be the chosen stretch tires right now. I've got them on my FRS, but only a 215 over a 9"
Decent performance, wet isn't the best. But I havnt had any excessive wear issues or bubbling at about -4° squared.
Ran coopers for a lot of years. Then had a relatively new set on my Grand Prix say 10k miles. Went on a road trip in 800 miles had 3 bulge out to different degrees.
Don't like Cooper.
