I bought the tires off craiglist, they came with rims, but the rims would not fit the subaru so I bought the cheap(isn) MSW rims (not from but are the same as the lowest price alloy sold by tire warehouse) and sprayed them with black plastidip. Tires are Nordman 2, a Chinese made Nokian-ish tire (i.e. some Chinese company bought the mold from Nokian and continued making them). Loud but have amazing grip in the snow. On a side note, even with the taller sidewall I have no issues with the handling of the car, and might run this rim with a tire like the Nokian WRG2 year round, and sell the original wheels, maybe. |

Even though not rated. About 2 years/30k miles or four winters (if used only in the winters) - whichever comes first.

I'm completely unamused with how aggressive the traction control is even when it's supposidly turned off.

I have to say I am so impressed with my 2013 5dr in the snow storm a few weeks ago. I was out playing in it as soon as the travel ban was lifted (Mass) and I could not get this thing stuck if I tried. I have the OEM tires on and this thing just stuck to the road and plowed through it. Only issue was the height...Front bumper acted like a plow pushing through the snow but that was ok. I cant even imagine driving this think with some good snow tires. Cheers!

was out driving through 4-6" of snow yesterday and today with the stock Yokos, overall did a great job even with 15.5k on the tires now.

Anyone know if the factory snowflakes I believe they were called actually came in yellow? I have seen a few cars with them and I'm not sure if they are painted or factory. I think those are what I want for snow tires.

The traction control doesn't do anything when it's turned off. I don't know what problem you were having cause you made a very vague statement, but you were likely experiencing the VDC, which CANNOT be turned off.
