I put a set of Continental TrueContact Tour on our 2016 about this time last year and so far so good. They do OK in the snow (we don’t get a lot or heavy) and I don’t think they are noisy compared to the Yokohamas that were on them before. We put a lot of highway miles on them and they handle well in the rain. Pacific Northwest, so I worry more about driving in the rain over other conditions.

Pros: OK in snow, not noisy, handle well in rain

MICHELIN Tires

Michelin Cross Climate 2 on my 09 Impreza sedan. Road noise is better than the winters I had, but I’ve heard they’re kinda noisy to some people. Wet and dry performance, especially in the hotter months is significantly better than my winter tires, and I feel much more connected to the road. Spirited drives on twisty backroads feel much better. In snow storms, starting/stopping feels amazing, like the snow isn’t even there, and I’ve never had an issue pulling through 5+ inches of snow. Making light and smooth turns has also been very good. However, I find it much easier to break traction compared to my previous winter tires if you’re being reckless, and it's harder to regain. Aggressive 90-degree downhill turns can make the back end step out. There's also a reported 1-3 mpg hit. Despite this, I would most likely buy them again.

Pros: better road noise, excellent wet/dry grip, amazing snow performance, connected feel
Cons: can be noisy, easier to break traction, mpg hit

Firestone Tires

I've just got some Firestone all-season tires on mine. Nothing fancy. They did *surprisingly* well in a half-foot of snow.

Pros: surprisingly well in snow

Michelin cross climate 2’s on my 2016 Impreza sport hatch 5mt. I’ve had them for about a year and a half in central PA and they’ve treated me very well. They’re awesome in snow and the tread life has been good so far. They’re a little more noisy on the highway, but I definitely feel more comfortable driving the car in bad weather over my Jeep, unless the snow fall is over like 8 inches. Michelin cross climate 2 gets my vote!

Pros: awesome in snow, good tread life, comfortable in bad weather
Cons: a little noisy on highway

Vredestein Tires

Vredestein Hypertrac AS. They are an all season performance tire. Drove in all sorts of ice and snow last winter including driving up my mountain of a driveway. They are quiet, handle great and superb in the rain. My subie is a little snow machine, it is pretty amazing.

Pros: great in ice/snow, quiet, great handling, superb in rain

Rating 3.0

I have a '21 Forester Limited. I had no issues with the tires until I went in for an oil change at 17,300 miles and was told I needed new ones. They were all worn to 3/32." I thought they had performed pretty well, but they certainly didn't hold up.

Pros: performed pretty well
Cons: didn't hold up
Mileage: 27842 km

BFGoodrich Tires

Just wanted to put this out there on my experience with the BF Goodrich Advantage Control tires I purchased from Costco. Bought the BFG tires with 60k on my car. I now have 118k. At 110k I noticed a roaring sound coming from my front end and thought it might be a front wheel bearing. Not the case. Noticed that on the outside tread of all the tires, about every third knobby, was worn greater than the others. Always maintained the proper PSI and rotated every 5k miles.

Cons: roaring sound, uneven wear
Mileage: 118000 km
