Just want to get a rough idea on average, I've had mine for about 25k miles now and they seem to be holding up decently but that's not stopping me from starting to think about planning their eventual replacement.
How many miles did you get out of the OEM tires? (Yokohama Avid GT)

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:

The following is for the On-Road All-Terrain category:

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.

Which of the two?
Sure seems like it to me . . .
wanted a quieter tire
went with Michelin Defender 2’s
others have gone with Cross country’s

Sorry, I thought they were both to the same site, didn't look close enough. I was referring to the wheelandtirepros.com review.

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

We have a 2021 OUTBACK with 23K. Stock tires. It would not pass inspection. Not pleased! Subaru needs to compensate.
Somebody owes you something. Of course. Your driving style, area you drive in, and condition of the roads/pavement have nothing to do with it at all. And who knows what regulations are for tires concerning vehicle inspections in your state. Contact SOA. I'm sure they'll get right on that for you.
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.

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...

I'd have to check my notes but I think I got to 45k on my OEM Avids. My brother swapped out his Avids for some more off road oriented tire on his Outback so I got his Avids for free. Once these wear out, I'll be putting on the Cross Climate 2s. I've not been impressed with the Avids but I'm cheap, they were free, and I can work from home when the roads are bad.
22 Subaru Forester come on FALKEN ZIEX tire how is it relavent to Outback Yokohama Avid GT ?
