Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru

You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.

Four 215/50/17 Michelin X-Ice Xi-3 snow tires. Good condition. 3 of the four have 9/32" tread remaining. 1 has a little more than 8/32". No patches or plugs.

I've been running Michelin Defenders in recent years - highly recommended.

I like the Michelin E.Primacy all season tires which I bought to replace the OEM Continentals. They are more efficient, ride quality is better, and noise is about equal to the OEM Continentals that came on my Model Y LR.

shocked no one mentioned michelin pilot sport 4S yet, those are peak performance tires. they also have good wet performance too, despite being summer tires.

I try to get safer tires, which are often performance tires. Less concerned with longevity, more concerned with emergency stopping distance. Michelin Pilot Sport AS4

Michelin CrossClimate2. They are snow and ice rated, can be driven all year round, have good handling, and will last you 60,000 miles easily. I’m on my second set. They work well in snow and ice.

Michelin's Cross Climate 2 is the current gold standard for All-Weather tires, are very capable and can last upwards of 40k miles.

I had the CC2’s on my Explorer, to replace the OEM tires. They handle great, and are excellent in the snow, but they were very loud, and got louder as they wore, I also noticed a significant reduction in gas mileage, 15-20% depending on season. I eventually swapped them for what is essentially the Pirelli version of the same tire. They are called the Scorpion WeatherActive and were far and away better than the Michelins on my vehicle. Gas mileage went back to normal and they were much quieter.

I'm lowered on coils but I still rub. I have shitty Westlake tires. I failed inspection because one of the tires was separating. Long story short got a used Michelin tire and well it rubs like shit.
