10k. It would not hold the nose in a turn in snow at 25mph. While everyone else is doing 45 and blowing past.

 

I've also talked with other Subaru owners who panned the OEM tires in the snow. So my next thing to consider is what to use. A friend switched over to Michelin Premier LTX SL which he said was a huge improvement.

 

I got about 1,500 miles from my stock tires....I drove once in a driving rain and got rid of them shortly thereafter. The stock tires suck.

 

We have a 2021 OUTBACK with 23K. Stock tires. It would not pass inspection. Not pleased! Subaru needs to compensate.

 

27K+ so far with lots of tread left but, as others have pointed out, tread longevity is the only redeeming feature of these tires. I'll soon be replacing them with the Michelin CrossClimate2.

 

I'm at 27K miles, just measured them at an average of 5.5/32, so near their end-of-life. I run winter tires Michelin X-Ice Snow. Like them overall, could be better in slush but solid in snow/ice conditions.

 

I put about 13K on them, and they had decent tread left before I gave them to a literal grandma when I upgraded…and they only lasted another 12K or so on a (lighter) CR-V.

This is a similar experience with OEM Bridgestone tires, and seems to be common but don’t have any other proof.

 

I don't personally care, as I'll also get rid of them WAY before they wear out. They're crap, like others mentioned. Surprised you want to keep them even longer than 25K.

 

I’m at 37k on a 2022 XT Touring. Tread life has been incredible. I’ve rotated every 5k. At last service tread depth was still a 7. I live in northern Ohio. Tires have performed fine in snow and rain. I know there are much better overall options but these have been the best OEM tires on any new car I’ve purchased. I’m excited to replace with either Falken Wildpeaks or the Yokohama GO15.

 

I got my OBXT as a CPO but I finally dumped the Avid GT's today at 29K on the dot for some Pirelli Scorpion A/S 3 Pluses. I personally added around 8.5K miles on them. 4.5/32 tread left on them. I also changed my tires right on time since it was raining a bit today and I didn't have much confidence in the rain with the worn Avids.

 

42k on 2020 Limited, smooth driving, highway miles mostly. Tire shop guy told me they will last one more season, at least, but I will be looking for replacement as soon as new year's sales start. I agree 100% these tires are NOT snow rated at all. Can't complain in summertime, tho.

 

Once my 24 wilderness gets in it will have a total of 10km on the stock tires. It's getting a full set of Falken Wildpeak at3w right off the bat. If anyone wants to buy a full 5 tire set of geolandar a/t g015 for their outback in April around Vancouver Canada let me know

 

Having a spare set for the 22OBWwould be handy, though we use snow tires 4-5 months of the year. We’ll see when the spring comes around.

 

I am going to be removing the stock wheels and tires as soon as the car is home from the dealer. Going with 235/65/17 AT3W. For winter I am going with toyo "we got nuts" winters on the stock wheels. We ran the toyo walnut shell infused tires on our mazda 5 and they were the best tire we have ever driven on in winter.

 

Got rid of them at 100 miles, just a garbage of a tire for my Wilderness.

 

Currently have 26,000 miles on mine but like others have mentioned, they are terrible tires. Looking to replace them next year with a good A/T tire.

 

FWIW here are some "recent" reviews on the tire:

That's more a thinly disguised ad than a legitimate review.

 

Around 28k mine started to get noisy. Winter was about to set in so I swapped them out, still had plenty of life left, I just didn't want to deal with them in the coming winter.

 

If you're looking at Grand Touring All-Season, following is what owners report. Keep in mind, the ratings are subjective, most by people who have no experience objectively rating tires but, due to the number of reviews, the ratings are still quite informative collectively:

TireRack has tested many of these tires and provides test results on their website such as this one:

6300 miles when I swapped in Sparco Terran 18" wheels & Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 18" tires. I bumped up from 17" and had planed to do so from day one. Factory wheels on my 2022 Premium were just plain ugly. The OEM Yokohama tires were smooth & quiet in dry and rain conditions, but snow was a bit dicey for the most part. They're not that bad overall, but MUCH better options exist in the OEM size for us. I'm super happy with the Pirelli's no doubt. I've put about ~3k miles on them so far, we shall see how they do this winter.

And, Tires Rack's pricing for the OEM Yokohama Avid GT's is ridiculous seeing as how the top dogs are about the same price.

 

21,000m. What's left on them is NOT good enough for any snow.

 

wanted a quieter tire
went with Michelin Defender 2’s
others have gone with Cross country’s

 

52,000 miles and still plenty of tread left. I do a 5 tire rotation. One tire has some noise but it is not bad enough to cause me to change yet. My plan is to change them out a year from now at about 65,000. I have had no complaints with the OEM tires but I have not really had to test them much (bad weather, etc.).

 

I bought a 2020 outback in October 2019 and the first thing I did was upgrade the tires to the avid ascend GT. They have been awesome and 45K miles on them do far no issues

 

I replaced them last week at 26826 miles, a tad below 4/32" remaining on a two year old (purchased Dec 2021) 2022 OB Limited. Only "off-roading" was occasional gravel or dirt drives. If it was Spring/Summer I would probably have run them a little bit longer. They were not the best tires I've ever had, but far from the worst also.

 

26,000 - 22 Subaru Forester

Not enough tread for winter.

Upgraded to Michelin Cross Climate 2’s.

 

22 Subaru Forester come on FALKEN ZIEX tire how is it relavent to Outback Yokohama Avid GT ?

 

I always swap out OEM tires. My OEMs lasted as long as it took for me to get an appointment to get some Vredestein HiTrac AS on ~ 500 miles.

I live in NW WA & the roads here are wet about 250 a year, so my primary consideration is what stops the best in wet, is relatively comfortable, get decent MPG, & is reasonably priced. I rely on TireRack tests as the only reliable, data driven source. The Vredestein HiTracs, are superior checked all the right areas for me.

That said, based on TR's & CR's testing, Michelin Cross Climate2s & Vredestein Quatrac Pro are the best you can get if driving in the snow is a concern and you are not interested in dedicated winter tires.

FWIW, Apparently Vredestein doesn't sell the Quatrac Pro in a 225/60R18. However, they do sell a 235/55R18 that should fit well. That size would add an approximate +1 MPH (at 70 MPH) change to the speedometer reader. I'll be giving it serious consideration soon.

 

I threw my Yokohama OEM tires in the trash at around 11,000 miles and replaced them with the Cross Climate 2 and continue, at 40,000 miles to be impressed. I put my Blizzaks on in the winter, but suspect (based on the fairly aggressive tread pattern of the Cross Climate 2 ) that they would do well in winter.

Journal: 2022 Subaru Outback XT

I am making the jump back to Subaru. I'd owned a 2017 Subaru and have just ordered a 2022 Subaru Outback XT. I wanted to establish this thread to track the history of the car. ORDERED: Saturday February 26, 2022 DEALER: Ruge's...
