I got them on my Subaru Outback about 3 weeks ago. Recommended by most of the Outback owners here on Reddit and they were right! l live in MN and we have had lots of snow this winter. They are fantastic and highly recommend them.
I run all-seasons, but I still have very high performance ones (Michelin CrossClimate 2) that have a better than average rating in snow for all-season tires.
My current one is an 18 with Michelin cross climate 2s on it. I have to intentionally make it slide in order for it to happen. I think there has been one instance that was not intentional.
Western Canadian skier here. I run Studded Toyos on my outback every winter, it’s amazing!
I just recently switched to Nokian Wrg5 and so far I'm loving these on my 3.6 Outback. These seem to be a bit more winter focused.
I had 2 of the exact same vehicle (Subaru Outback). One had Michelin X-Ice dedicated winter tires and the other had Michelin Cross Climate All Weather tires. Last year, after a fresh snowfall, I took both cars out, drove down the street and took quick turns, braking, starts from stop etc. I then went to an open parking lot and did the same. I didn't notice much difference at all in those types of conditions.
I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.
I thought the tires that came on the Wilderness were great in the snow for the first year at least. I live in Wisconsin
50k with the Yokohamas on my 2021 Onyx XT. Rotate every 5k miles with the oil change. I live in northern California in the Bay Area and haven't had any trouble till the winter rains started this year. Noticed a little hydroplaning so it's time to change.
Most go with Pirelli, Michelin , Falken where as Cooper is C grade tire.
