Tires YOKOHAMA or NANKANG
I recommend using Yokohama ES32. Cheaper than Dunlop. Previously I'm a fan Yokohama Tyres.. Been using their midrange C.drive AC01 and C.drive2 AC02.. Give me confidence in wet weathers.
I replaced my OEM Falkein ZIEX tires at exactly 21k miles with some Yokohama Geolandar X-CV's. The new GX's seem to ride fine on them so for my experience with 400 miles on the Geolandars, they have improved ride quality and lowered perceived road noise.
Get some Yokohama Geolander CV4s tires and never have to worry about traction on snow and ice or wearing out winter tires. Best All weather tires you can buy and they’re decent off road. Light weight too. 60k tread wear warranty. I got them on a CX-5 and it’s unstoppable in snow.
2022 Wilderness OB that came with Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 (very good tires--I ordered my car online and it was delivered new) and I just replaced them at 52,000 as they were getting thin.
I’m really happy with their snow performance (geolanders) after 18k miles in all seasons.
So far no issues with these tires at 12k, on my '24 OB. I live in the Bay Area (CA) and go to Tahoe frequently in the winter, the tires are OK in snow but not so bad that I'm gonna upgrade before they're due. They've been fine in pouring rain too.
So far my 2025 Onyx tires have been through crazy heavy rain, snow/ice, and have been great. Also road noise is great.
Wilderness forester handling steep grades like a champ, stock Yokohama Geolandar tires did not like climbing back up though
2021 Outback XT and my Yokohama tires drive on snow like it's concrete.
For anyone who lives in snowy climate, do you find OEM Yokohama tires suck in the snow? I live in Minnesota and it's winter wonderland now but I find myself slipping and sliding perhaps more than I should.
