Haha, no, no...not trying to put 22s or anything crazy on there. I am talking about bigger TIRES, aka more rubber between the road and the wheel. I don't actually have my Crosstrek yet though so maybe i am wrong, but it just seems the stock tires on there are a little underwhelming...maybe im wrong?jascha said:Not sure what the biggest could be but it is nice to have suspension travel.
You might have to check with a custom rim store if you are looking to have some 22s on it.
I would say after putting 3k miles on them they are very good. Lots of mechanical grip on tarmac and off-road they have gone over sharp rocks and other unfriendly things like a champ. Don't really have anything to compare them to but happy with them so far. It rained like crazy here in LA last week for 3-4 days straight and performed well the traction control light never came on once even trying to make it come on.CouchPotato said:...are the stock tires BAD?
This is what I've been hearing which is great news!nickb99 said:I live in Canada and the yokohama tires are extremely good in snow.
1. Neither of those tires are available in a size that would reasonably fit the 'trek.AWDfreak said:For all-terrain tires, I still prefer the General Grabber AT2 and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO because both have the snowflake winter rating. Does the A/T-S have it also?
Well I guess that sets my future choice of tire. I was hoping I could squeeze on some 15" rally wheels with some BFGs or Generals.CJBROWN said:1.

2. I have never liked General brand tires. I also do not care for korean tires. So I scratch a lot of brands off before I even shop. Favorites are Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli, Yokohama, Toyo, Goodrich, and possibly Bridgestone, but after their purchase of Firestone I'm not so sure. I will never forget the ford explorer debacle. Uniroyal neither. Contenental, Sumitomo neither. I had good luck with Nitto as well, ran them on the bimmer for many years.
3. TKO's are a very hard riding tire. Super long wear, but comfort is not their forte. Good offroad as well.
I just thought the Yokohama AT-S would make an ideal aggressive offroad tire for the Crosstrek. I'm fairly confident they are snow-rated as well, however there are several other 'snow tires' to choose from that may be better suited for snow specifically.
Franky, I think you would hate TKO's on a 'trek.AWDfreak said:Well I guess that sets my future choice of tire. I was hoping I could squeeze on some 15" rally wheels with some BFGs or Generals.
