Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

I’ve run Blizzaks on my 2014 Forester before, but I’m currently on my second year with a set of Michelin X-Ice and they’ve been great so far. The sidewalls on the X-Ice don’t seem to flex as much as the Blizzak so the car feels better in corners, especially when running on dry pavement.

X-Ice for me. A few reviews noted they did a bit better in slush, water, etc vs just deep snow so they make sense where I live.

Michelin x ice worked awesome for me.

PS4S are the best tires I’ve ever had but are a lot more expensive.

Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them

I ran Pilot Sport 4S and they were great, although pricey.

our 2016 didn't come with falken, but whatever similar brand it had were awful and I happily replaced them at 20-25k miles with a set of michelin a/s 3+, which have been much better.

Replaced ours at 20k. They were so loud! Michelin primacy tour I believe. Huge upgrade

I got the CrossClimate + 2 weeks ago. First few days I couldn’t really notice a difference. After 2 weeks and driving more, they’re definitely louder and less efficient.

I just replaced a set of dry-rotted, cracked Michelin's with tread that seemed nearly brand new. It really sucked to fail an inspection because of tires with so much tread left.
