What are the best tires to buy for my Subaru Forester?

I was just told by a mechanic that the tires on my Subaru Forester are worn down and need to be replaced. I wanted to do a little research first, but everyone suggests something different. So what are the best tires for my Subaru Forester?

We get it! There are countless options for a
Subaru Forester
, and it’s difficult to wade through all the suggestions you’ll come across online. Some of the most recommended suggestions include:
Best all-season and touring:
  • Continental ProContact TX
  • Cooper Discoverer SRX
  • Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady
  • Goodyear Eagle LS-2
  • Michelin Primacy A/S
  • Michelin Defender T+H
  • Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II
  • Yokohama Avid Ascent
Best snow tires:
  • Bridgestone Blizzak WS90
  • Nokian Hakkapelitta R2A
  • Michelin X-Ice Xi3
Which of these is really the best tires for the Subaru Forester boils down to your budget, driving style, and road conditions you expect to experience most often.
If you have a lead foot—we hope you don’t, given that
cheap car insurance
is sort of our thing—the Pirelli tires might be the way to go. If you’re outdoorsy and roads are optional, consider the Cooper Discoverer or Michelin Defender options. And if you’re looking for comfort, it’s hard to beat the Continental ProContact tires.
We should quickly note that most Subaru models—all but the BRZ sports coupe, actually—feature symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD) systems. You’ll want to replace all four tires at once, as not doing so can negatively impact the AWD.
