I have used these tires Continental Extreme contact, on another Subaru and were fantastic. I have had really good luck wit Continental tires. thanks for the insight.

tysparks81, thats the exact answer IU was looking for . thank you. Makes total sense.

We are not mandated to have winter tires although I believe the province of Quebec is. However with that been said in the winter I use continental Winter tires with the Legacy AWD it doesnt get better than that. I think my thought was initially was, why am I buying an all season tire just for the summer. Which pretty much they are used from April to. November only. So what I was trying to get at is there a benefit to having a summer tire over the all season and is a performance one necessary? My car is stock there are no mods, its not a race car, but make no mistake I push this car to its limit. In light of that I was wondering if a performance tire would be safer and better traction.

Continental are definitely my favourite and have always done well on all my Subarus.

Hey Code, off is the direction I need you to go, and when you get there, let me know what tires you found or not!

Thx D I like Conti's too for the most part.

Thanks MoleMan currently also looking at Bridgestone.

Hahaha your awesome Code, been just reading about that tire exactly!!!!!!!!!!Lol

This car came with Yokohama's, and truthfully wasn't too impressed pushing them to the limits especially in the rain. I had an 04 outback sedan that had continental that I could cross 5 lanes and not ever worry about it. It's not that they are bad, but just not my cup of tea. In the past I have really had good success with Continental, Bridgestone, and Michelin a long time ago made a tire called the MXM4 I believe from Michelin , when I had put them on my outback it was like driving a smooth higher end car. They were discontinued but from what I can see, their replacement is not supposed to be that great. I always wondered why some people are buying all season tires for the summer but have separate have winter tires. I've seen so many people do this. I think I'm looking for a summer tire that has great performance but that is quiet when I'm just coasting on long trips. It has to be amazing in the rain for sure and when pushed to the limits. Been through all the website 1010, tiretrack etc, but just wanted to get feedback from folks who actually drive these cars daily. One other thing, don't ask me why but I had Pirelli P7's once on my older legacy, and it scared the living crap out of me. I call them slipperellies now, so not interested in those. Would love to know what folks are putting on this car for higher performance better traction. Subie1901
