mrs.cos Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 We want to stab ourselves looking for tires that fit our needs. Anyone have any GOOD suggestions? we have looked at tirerack, nasioc, its all like reading garbly goop. I want an ALL SEASON, QUIET, Long Lasting tire that is not scary on Rain and is at least somewhat reliable on snow. Apparently because of the size of my tires, this is an impossible request. Every tire we look at has bi-polar disorder when it comes to the reviews, and could really use some input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pretty anal about tires. The avids arent unilateral if i remember correctly so they are a no go due to subarus rotation pattern.

SpaceGhost Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S have been the best A/S tire I have bought and had on a Subaru. They are really quiet, you know how much tire noise you hear in a STI for lack of sound deadening. I can hear some wind noise with them. Last year in the snow they were awesome, and in the rain they are perfect. The drawback is that they are expensive. They are pretty borring in the summer I miss my Bridgestones in the summer. But for the outback they would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope these tires that Derek has recommended fits the bill. Their ratings seem pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You understand the Tire I am talking about is not a "summer tire" it's an all season tire A/S = All Season that is why I say it's awesome in the snow and perfect in the rain. I'm trying to explain that the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are the exact tire you want by your description in your first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
