Tires YOKOHAMA or Achilles
I had 3 sets of Yoks in the past. I get about 160 runs out of them. Courses are 30-40 seconds, usually asphalt. They were at the wear bars in one season (the 160 runs) and actually corded on the insides first from the camber I run. One of the sets in my garage is completely slick with almost no visible tread left. I prefer tires that wear so you feel like you're using the entire tire. I want them to look like yours in 160 runs or about 25 events so I can get fresh ones in the spring and not have to store them.
The stock tires are good tires, relatively quiet, and perform well in all conditions.
The stock Geolandars are really pretty quiet and comfortable.
The stock geolandars on my wilderness '24 are great for everything and fit the wilderness purposefully. The drive was noticably smoother going over roads that used to stress me out.
I have the stock Geolandar’s on my 25 CTW and so far I’m pleasantly surprised by their on-road performance. Much quieter than I thought (almost no discernible road noise at all) and they also handle great. My mileage has also been really good so far. No real complaints, tire wise.
I love my Yokohama Advan Flevas. I run them on my NA with NB wheels 195/50/R15
Another vote for the yokohama advan flevas, I love mine in 205/50/15 for year round driving and they're great in the rain here in Oregon.
Recently bought a used Subaru Crosstrek for my daughter, and CarMax clearly had put new tires on them — specifically, Achilles SportTouring A/S.
I know nothing about this brand or model, so I can’t say what their wet or snow performance might be (or any other parameters, for that matter).
I waffled between the Yokohama Geolander GO15's and the MS2s. Started with the Yokos and my mileage dropped, was stiffer over bumps, but was a tank in the messy snow we got before Xmas. Swapped them out for the MS2 under the 30 day satisfaction warranty, and I wish I hadn't.
Tires have always been the downfall of the great AWD system they have. Yoko's were the worst!
