October 8, 20169 yr Yeah, I'm the same with my budgets...they'll do for now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 21, 20178 yr Pilot sport 4's all round. 18". Cost about £650 fitted. Best tires ive ever used, comes off roundabouts switching position (right to left) safe as houses, they dig in brilliantly under power, given me the most confidence of any tire I've used before including P-Zeros, which were admittedly on a lighter FWD car, so maybe not a great basis for comparison. Regardless, I'd recommend the Pilot Sport 4 in a heartbeat.
November 6, 20178 yr Buying a set of 18s tonight and looking at uniroyal rainsport 3s. Anyone running these and can comment on winter, snow, ice performance please?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 6, 20178 yr I'm running these not really had the chance to use in winter conditions yet but they do seam really good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Swapping 245/40 r18 for 235/45 r18, extra 7mm rad, should fill the arch nicely. 😊 £690 fitted, at my local garage via Black Circles. May take before and after pics.
November 13, 20178 yr Not a lot of room to spare, if it had anything even resembling suspension there could have been problems. 😁

I wonder if I should do that... Looking into tyres as I need to get some soon. Kind of debating between Michelin Pilot Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1, Falken Azenis (spelling), and Kumho Escata’s. I know which the best is, but I’m thinking if I don’t break the bank I can get them refurbed as well...F1’s know a few people that swear by them...had Kumho on a old car before and they were pretty good considering the price...Azenis...I’m dubious about winter/wet.

February 10, 20196 yr Brand - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 Size - 225 45 17 Cost £400, £100 per corner fitted No cons yet. Big improvement over the old Potenza Stock tyres for 2007 WRX. Great wet grip and smoother ride which helps as there is a pothole in northampton every 2 foot it seems. I agree with most of the positive reviews you will find on the web about these tyres. Will have to see about wear rate.
November 4, 20214 yr Got the Outback shod with four Michelin Alpin 5 SUV winter tyres today (225/60/18) so I'll post a review once Ive had time to experience how they perform. That's a sure sign we'll have a mini heatwave between now and Christmas 🙂 !
November 8, 20214 yr Just fitted mine with Crossclimate 2's - Alpin 5's were recommended by others but I went for an all season as actual snow is normally for a couple of days / weeks only more wet and cold and I have been impressed with the crossclimates in the past. Went for the OEM Subaru tyre size of 245 / 40/ 18. Will post feedback as I put some miles on them Cost was £520 fitted

As I live in the rural north Pennines we're one of the snowier parts of England and Wales so it's always full winter tyres here (maybe global warming will fix that!). Cost a whooping £720 including fitting so was quite painful, but hey ho. I'd be interest how you fair with the all-seasons as I'm ponder replacing the summer Bridgestones Duelers that came with the car with all-seasons once they wear out.

I did search for discount codes which reduced it quite a bit - 15% off. ONe thing that does appeal about the use of Michelins is, allegedly, the grip is the same even down to the minimum tread depth. Given your motor and location I think replacing the Bridgestones with all season alternatives is a good idea 👍
