I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.
Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.
I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.
It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.
I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.
At this point, I will only buy CrossClimate2’s. Got em on my Crosstrek right now and couldn’t be happier.
For your turbo Baja, [Koyorad](https://ebay.us/m/yadARd) is the creme de la creme.
The only time I’ve had any real control issues driving in my forester with Michelin cross climates was heading to the airport to pick up my daughter during freezing rain. Glazed ice everywhere and you couldn’t stop worth a damn.
I've had a creak in what I suspect is my CV joint since I've bought it (new)
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
