Subaru Forester Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Kormoran Suv Summer given 91% (225-55-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 28000 average miles
it was cheap and affordable. in first sight i didnt have to much expectations. But i like that tire, because it didnt wear at all. If you re a family driver not formula 1, it will totaly make you satisfied.

Driving on mostly country roads for 15000 spirited miles
Drives great, in dry and wet and handling inspires confidence. All good stuff. But was wore out in 20/30,000 km. The Yokohama Geolanders I had before these got almost 80,000km. Not as good but lasted a lot longer. I got the UC6 at half price but still not great value. maybe the big chip and gravel wore out the compound. No punctures thru and took them on mild off road terrain.

Writing about the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 given 73% (225-60-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 8500 average miles
Good tires in wet, dry, good in a light snow, cornering. Poor fuel economy, when I used in summer F rated winter tire, they used 0.8-1l less when Hankook C rated tires. I was checking it carefully driving same roads, same conditions, same speed, traffic and etc. Not so sure for the wear yet. One of the best tires in autumn, or rainy spring.

Writing about the General Altimax RT43 given 82% (225-60-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 24000 easy going miles
These tires are a very good value; they do everything reasonably well for an all season, including snow, and seem pretty durable. I drive 42 miles to work each day, 8 miles of which is on gravel. These tires still have 8/32nds of tread despite the gravel at about 24,000 miles of use; they started at 11/32nds. Comfort wise, they ride pretty well and don't emit much noise. The only bad thing about them that I've noticed is that they tend to follow lines on grooved surfaces. I would recommend these if you're looking for a good all season tire without having to pay a premium brand price. They are currently being replaced by the General Altimax rt45 though.

Driving on mostly motorways for 60000 easy going miles
Got these tires brand new with my car but the standout feature is...the wear! These have lasted me 100,000km and only now do they need replacing. Will go for these again. All other traits are pass marks, never lost grip in wet etc.

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
This tires came OEM in my Subaru Forester, the tires are great, good grip in dry and wet, not noisy, and good feedback.
They are not made for performance but for confort and peace of mind.
My forester has 25 000 miles and still has about 35-40% of the tread.
Wont buy them again cuz they are hard to find and expensive.

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler HL 400 given 80% (225-55-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 52 average miles
OEM on a 2015 Subaru Forester Touring. Wear-bar showing at 52K mi. Rotated every season while I use my studded winter tire setup. They became a harsher and noisier ride as the tread worn down. Think I'll try a high quality all-season tire next that has a 70K mi warranty, rather than this summer tire. These Duelers did okay for OEM and have been reliable even in very mild winter snow conditions before I switch to my studded tire setup.

Writing about the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 given 57% (225-55-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 35000 easy going miles
After 15.000 km, the road facing tread of the front tires began to peel off. Also there was uneven wear on all 4 tires; where the tread become wider. It is now giving a shaky ride and i will replace them. (50.000 km driven). They still have enough depth to go 30k km but uneven wear makes them unusable.

Driving on mostly motorways for 26000 easy going miles
After 1 year of use the front tires began to tear, after another afew months those damaged threads began to fall off. İt is really sad and dangerous as my opinion.

Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 average miles
When they were new, everything was right but, after 20 000km, they began to suffer from age. The worst was the aquaplanning which became dangerous. I had to slow down a lot to not change track on water spot. It was the first time in my life I felt this unsecure situation. Other, the snow ans ice grip dramatically went down. Very comfortable tire, almost no noise, very good on dry pavement. Very good gas consumption. Everything was perfect until they came to the second part of their life.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 easy going miles
These tires handle ok in the dry, but would have to be the worst tires I’ve ever driven in the wet. It’s like you’re driving on soap. Very sketchy dangerous in the wet. I don’t recommend at all!!
