Tires BRIDGESTONE or DUNLOP

I recommend Bridgestone Weatherpeak (Subaru Ascent).

I've been running Blizzaks (WS80, then WS90) on the stock wheels on my '18 Sportwagen since new and have loved them.

I bought the Weatherpeak 2 years ago. They were great tires in messy weather. No complaints at all there. But they wore down very quickly. Like in 25-40k.

Bought Weatherpeaks instead of CC2 for our Crosstrek, no difference in MPG. They're quieter than the stock Falkens.

Snow traction isn't as good as dedicated winter tires but it's good enough for the winters around here.

If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.

Great track tire. I have about 6 hours of track time on mine and have maybe one event left in them.

I have 4 track days on my RE71RS on my NB miata and still have a day or two of life left. Roughly ~10 hours

of driving the piss out of those tires.

They are fine, feel rather soft.

I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.

I'm at 31k on the factory 17" dunlops, I'm NOW starting to slide in the rain a bit

I have not been a fan of these tires at all. The stock Dunlops wear quickly and are bad tires for rain and obviously cold weather.
