My 2 cents worth of recommendation is for the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires.

I have the original Cross Climate 2 tires and love them.

@Drrlux There is already an oversupply of recommendations in this section of the forum if you care to have a read

For example the results of a search using "recommend" & "tire" : Search results for query: +recommend +tire

Hello All.
I have a 2020 Forester Touring.
The time for tires is about here.
There are FALKEN Tires on the car now?
Any suggestions on Tires to get less road noise
& that will give us a more comfortable ride?

Thank you in advance for your help & suggestions.
Walt

Consumer Reports road tested 18 "Performance All-Season" tires for ten characteristics including Noise and Ride Comfort:

On my 22 Premium, the eco tires lasted 35 miles before I changed to Goodyear Weatherready. Limited snow experience so far but like them for everything else so far, rain, dry etc.

Hi Walth TZ....

A lot of choices for tires will come down to personal choice... And honestly, there are dozens of similar posts on the forum. I'd suggest using the SEARCH COMMUNITY feature to find those threads and read through them...

('19+) - 2020 - Getting ready to replace factory...

Need input for GOOD tires! Two rear flat tires happened within 10 days apart!! 2020 Forester bought on 9/29/20. First flat tire: 10/9; second flat tire:10/19, car has only 385 miles so far - this is suck big time! AAA Towing came twice, Subaru Roadside Assistance was non existence. Someone...

('14-'18) - 2017 - Tire recommendations?

All, I am looking for 4 replacement tires for my 2017 Forester that I plan on keeping a while. I live in upstate NY, so the winter driving is important for me (I've lived there a while and I don't want to alternate snows). I am considering these tires: BFGoodrich Advantage Control -$725-...

('09-'13) - 2009 - What's The Best...

Hey everyone, I will be moving soon from Alabama to Connecticut. The trip is over 1000 miles and I need to replace my tires before the trip. There are so many tires out there!!! I want a good tire that's good for a Forester. Any suggestions?

A few 2020 tire threads have been merged here.

I’m looking for new tires for my subie.
I found below tire a lot of the folks are talking about, but most of the folks lives in places rain and snow. I live in socal and almost never go off-roading. Anyone has any comment on how those tire would perform on the dry CA (relatively well maintained) road in terms of durability?
Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady $199
Michelin CrossClimate2
Michelin Defender 2 $203
Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail $177
Continental Extreme Contact
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-50 $184
OEM: Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus $234 (already worn to 4/32 with only 25k mileage)

I also found the below in-stock tires in the local America’s Tire shop. I do take the subie to snow resort once every 2wks probably during winter season, but only after the road is relatively clear (possibly ice on the road, but not while it’s covered by snow). How will the below perform compared to the above?
Continental Control Contact Tour A/S Plus $191
Falken Pro G5 CSV $170
BFGoodrich Advantage Control $174
(They have Wildpeak and Defender2 in stock as well)

Thank you all in advance!

I love my CrossClimate 2's

 

[ForesterBill]

Consumer Reports road tested several of the tires you are looking t. Here's a comparison:

 

[MGator]

@kalizee - i just switched from Bridgestone Ecopia to Falken Wildpeak A/T and like them. Can’t comment on longevity yet but can notice a difference with grip in the snow.

once you decide I recommend reaching out to one of the Discount Tire reps to get a price match. I was able to get the wildpeaks (225/60R17) for under $150 each (not including install).

 

[Crashbug916]

Go to tirerack.com and enter your tire size and look at all the data.
I use crossclimate 2s best in class can definitely recommend

 

[Old Man]

Hankook Synergy 4S. $136 at Discount Tire (match Walmart low price about 16 months ago). Quieter than the Cross Climate. Have 20K on my set and 9/32 (originally 11/32). Excellent rain and snow. It is a quieter and lighter Cross Climate competitor at $70 less than cost per tire. Will try to buy again but I expect another 40 to 50K miles on these. Highly underrated tire.

Didn’t know I can do this but this is helpful.

Hi all! I have a 2020 sport. OEM tires. They are falken 001 tires.

I live in the northeast , long island, NY.

I just finally hit 30k miles. I've done all my own oil changes each 6k miles and each time I rotated my own tires.

I can't find too much on these tires besides that they are just "ok" tires. I drive mostly highway miles and not sure if these are really to go at 30k miles.


Could also use recommendations on which tires to get next.

 

[bman400]

Check Tire rack for various reviews on tires. Also go over the other tire threads for the opinions your looking for.

 

[FozzyX3]

@sonofjack1337 You'll get lots of opinions on replacements, but near unanimous dislike of the Falken 001s. They're somehow even worse than the Yokohama G91 "Geosquealers" that were standard on so many Subarus for years. We have a '23 on order with 18" wheels (which means Falkens) and when finances allow I'm seriously considering dumping them for something else before next winter.

Hankook Synergy 4S. $136 at Discount Tire (match Walmart low price about 16 months ago). Quieter than the Cross Climate. Have 27K on my set and 8/32 (originally 11/32). Excellent rain and snow. It is a quieter and lighter Cross Climate competitor at $70 less than cost per tire. Will try to buy again but I expect another 35 to 40K miles on these. Highly underrated tire. Very economical and very good in snow.
