Suborsche Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 My mom has a 2001 outback in desperate need of tires. I'm looking for a good A/S that will work well in the wet northwest. Durability and price are a factor. I checked out consumer reports and they rated a Michelin Pilot A/S high (not sure which model). Just wondering what you guys are running and what has worked well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I just put on a set of BFG Traction T/As @$85/pc at discount tire before christmas on my 03OBW. Handling has been great esp with the weather we've been getting.

Green Beast Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Look at the Yokahama line. They are running great on the wifes 2000 outback. They also have a money back trial period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger83 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Pilots are pretty expensive. The Michelin HydroEdge is very good in rain, and extremely durable. The Michelin X is an excellent rain tire and is less expensive than the HydroEdge. It is available at Costco, Sam's Club and other chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
