Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia

Those Nokian's are one reason I went and purchased a Subaru in 2013.

Friend has the Hakkapeliitta's on his Outback.

On the year it snowed heavily, had an emergency call out. I wasn't going anywhere.

He called and said "I'll take you" and my reply was "in what? A snowmobile?" His reply " no, Outback". I was like yeah..sure

Half hour, I hear his horn outside. He takes us to a lot not plowed and said get in and drive.

I was like, OK I'm close to home, I can walk back.

I put it in drive, sep on the gas and HOLY SHIT! It was amazing!

He took me on the parkway, people sliding, going off into grass or worse. Us? Cruising like it was spring.

Found he had the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's on. Damn things are so good, you could climb a tree

On the way back, we pulled out countless cars, SUV's and trucks from snowbanks, woods etc.

That sold me on both Subaru and those Hakkapeliitta's!

The Nokians are a solid choice. After extensive research I went with Michelin X-Ice for better hydroplaning and lower rolling resistance. All other testing categories were within the margin of error.

We've owned a 2018 Tig for ~3 years and would buy again. Reliability at 60k miles has been fairly solid. We did have a problem with the fuel injector harness at 50k miles and it was replaced under warranty. No other issues. The 8 speed transmission is agreeable, no complaints. As well documented elsewhere, it is not one of the fastest compact SUVs, and the engine when pushed hard sounds more like a tractor than a sports car. The total car though is better than its rivals for us. We are running Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires which sharpened up the handling, and it already was competitive in that area. With good handling, steering and visibility, the Tig is not just competent, but even a little fun to drive in its own right. Ours is the R Line SEL Premium. The adaptive LED headlights on this trim level are good. The interior is a pleasant place to be, and materials have all held up well.

I have yoko on mine. Good tires.

Blizzaks are great. Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are out of this effing world.

Not sure what you went with but the Nokian WR G4 are great tires. I've used 4 pairs of the WR type of tires over 15 years in Michigan, Oregon, Utah(In the Canyon), Washington and Colorado on a front wheel and AWD drive SUVs/cars. They work great and are snow tires.

I’m on my 2nd set of Yokohama Advans for my 16GT. Longest lived tires (60k miles +) I’m willing to live with ever.

I would go with BF Goodrich KO2s, Falken AT3Ws, Or Yokohama. DO NOT get Goodyears or Mikey Thompsons, Goodyears are about the only tire I commonly replace new, customer buys them, hates them, comes back a week later and replaces them, and Mikey Thompsons, only thing I commonly put them on are people that don’t care about ride quality (People with “Built” Jeep wranglers that are mall crawlers, like they only did exterior mods). The tires I suggested will be on the pricier side but not too bad, they will all last you much longer then cheaper tires would

We have Yokohama Avid Ascend's and they are wearing like a pigs nose. Probably 30K on them now and they are rated at either 70 or 80K life. I easily see us getting 70K from them. 41 psi and proper rotation.

Not a fan of Nokian, they slip like crazy. I have some of their all seasons on my RX350 and they are like hockey pucks, just sliding everywhere.
