Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM Subaru
My wife’s Outback Wilderness came with the Geolander AT and they are true all terrain tires and have been fantastic. Over 65k miles in about 3 and a half years and they still have tread depths of about 6/32 left.
I got 90k miles out of the stock Yokohama geolanders. Put 4 new ones, exact same tires, and got 90k more...
I’m at 54k on the oem geolanders the car came with when I got it. Just had a rotation done, shop is guessing I’ll get through until next winter. ????♂️
Parents 2018 Forester got ~65k miles on stock Yokohama tires with regular rotations and replaced them with a bit over 3/32” left on them.
I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.
I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.
I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.
I have the Yokohamas and I was surprised at how quiet they were
I still love the R1Rs, but they are not good in the wet, IMO. I'll throw in a +1 for the Yoko AD09s.... they grip somewhat better than the R1R and are way, way better in the rain.
I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.
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.
