Forester tyres

Postby nixwrx » Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:04 am

Hey guys I know this is the Liberty forum but rather than joining another forum just to ask this question...

Have a 2009 Forester XS (stock rims still on), just looking for some advice on a good all-rounder replacement tyre. Nothing off-road, just around town/freeway duties for the wife and little one.

Cheers,
Nik

Adrenalin RE002 are what dad has on his at the moment. I thrash the thing and have no complaints about them.

Go for proper road tyres unless you have a real need for offroad capability (be it mud/snow/gravel/etc - and I don't mean a trip or two a year).

We had Geolanders on the Outback, and they were terrible at everything. We ended up with Kumho KU31s on it, and now have a Sumitomo road tyre on it, and the car is MUCH better on the road on these sorts of tyres.

Geolanders aren't bad, they are very predictable and grippy enough to have fun with.

Geosquealers are terrible.
