Tires PHANTOM or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
Pros: good and reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Pros: successful in snow
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, at almost 100k miles and basically no issues outside of tire maintenance. Subaru AWD is top tier as well
Pros: top tier AWD, no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 160934 km
Currently, running Phantom C-sports. Have 25k on these...and they are wearing o0n target to reach the 50k guarantee.
Pros: wearing on target
Cons: EV tires are a scam
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 40200 km
My 2017 Outback with winter tires is like on rail during snowy season. I have never driven a car this good on winter.
Pros: good on winter
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I don't know if it is still relevant, but I put this Phantom on my 2020 Ridgeline, and I’m very happy. I saved at least $200. The tires were a little bit noisy in the beginning but after the first month much better ???? keep road as champ even under heavy rain. Totally recommend this tires!
Pros: keep road as champ
Cons: noisy in the beginning
Vehicle:
Honda Ridgeline
I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires
Pros: no warranty issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 48280 km
i just purchased these tires a few weeks ago for my 2021 nissan rogue. they drive fine. they’re as quiet as my old ones, but maybe a little bumpier. the one thing that i noticed the most though was the drop in my fuel efficiency.
Pros: drive fine, quiet
Cons: drop in fuel efficiency
Vehicle:
Nissan
Phantoms are America's/Discount Tire own brand tire. They're a mid range tire that are for SUV's mainly but the smaller trucks like f-150, and the 1500's can run it if they are older from when they had the smaller frames. Better than the cheapest option out there, but don't expect top tier performance like, Michelin, Yokohama, and so on.
I'd recommend them if you do in city driving mainly, but they'll still be fine on highway driving. They're fine in wet weather as well. But again they arent top tier, but a decent budget tire so you don't break the bank.
Pros: decent budget tire
Cons: not top tier
never heard of this brand = dont buy. for a daily car with that much annual mileage buy a reputable brand.
Cons: unreputable brand
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
