“Happy with the tires in every respect EXCEPT for the wear. 32,000km and they all need to be replaced. I got 74,000km out of my Michelins on my previous car (Subaru Impreza) so I know it's not my driving.”
“Track work limited by tread. Same tire on Forester lasted 35,000 miles but these are done at 24,000. Subaru's 4WD gives such good grip that most conditions feel 100% secure. What are the options for replacement?”
Very good allround tire, with good attributes in dry, wet, offroad, mud, snow and good feedback. A little noisy, but good longevity also.
Initial Impressions86% 2,000 miles
I was very impressed by this tire (G95 ~ G900) while i drove it in almost every terrain, load, driving style. Road, sand, mud, icy snow, rain, on the limit, fully loaded, peaceful cruise... I can say this is a great ALL rounder. Predictable, versatile, well-balanced (all that added to my 2011 Subaru Forester).
i am writing this because i see a lot of negative reviews about these geolanders, and poor milage, and blaming the tires, and not the car, or driving. on the originals, i had done klms 80,676 (miles 50,000 plus) i changed them because it was in the winter months, and i had driven more miles than expected , they would have lasted another 2000 miles at least. i am a bit of a heavy bracker. on motorways i nearly always drive at 80/85 mph. and i have driven as 100mph now and again, when road/traffic/ and weather permits. just to give it a clear out. i never had the first set rebalanced. when friends came for holidays i always increased the rear pressure by 2 pounds, and decreased when they went home. i check the pressure monthly when the tires are cold, (at home) before any journey. my second set, i have now driven 60,000 klms, and it is not time for a change yet. and i did have this set rebalanced at 40,000 klms. not driven on snow/ice/grass/ forest trails. yes they are noisy when worn. and YES the car STOPS it it has too.----in SPAIN
Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
We have used this model tire exclusively on my wife's 2002 Outback. While It performs well, except for one event of very serious aquaplaning in heavy rain, my biggest gripe is the tire longevity. I note that this model is a winter tire, which suggests a soft compound. The problem is that it is sold in sub-tropical South Africa as a general purpose, all terrain tire.
Needless to say, these tires do not give anything like the mileage that they should, when compared with other makes and they are the only make available in SA (subject to correction) talk about a grudge purchase!
Which tires do you drive?

These tires are developed for the Subaru Outback and Forester - and they truly meet the Outback well.
This driver has driven thousands of kilometers using so-called premium tires from Nokian, Goodyear and Continental. All of those are much more noisy and uncomfortable, since they transfer any small dents in the road surface in a very unforgiving way, as a consequence of their stiff side walls. Worst of all is the tracking on the uneven and worn road surfaces we have everywhere in Norway.
All of the above mentioned issues were completely cured by installing the G900s - no tracking whatsoever with the Geolandars.
All three sets on my Subaru Forester have done 50,000+ kms with some off-road on mountain tracks; the only issue is road noise, I wonder if their C Drive tires are quieter.
Just replaced them after ca 35000km on Subaru Outback driven mostly in the City. Almost worn out completely, which is major negative imho.
There is nothing to complain regarding grip, perhaps dry grip is superior to wet grip.
Relative to modern tires (Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance) these are noisy and noticeably less comfortable. Never felt so much difference after tire replacement.
These G900s have been fantastic. My driving mixes suburban with country lanes, motorway and the rough gravel perimeter track of an airfield. It includes a fair amount of towing (caravan, glider or box trailer). After 30,000 miles in my ownership (and they weren't necessarily new when I purchased the car), the front tires are still going strong and probably have another 10,000+ worth of tread on them. The rears have just worn to the legal limit inwards from the wall but this is largely as a result of slow punctures in each that I was slow at getting fixed.
Trip computer shows average 33 MPG over the 30,000 miles and the 43 MPG I get sticking to 70 MPH on long motorway journeys (not towing) I consider astonishing for a 2.5 liter petrol engined permanent AWD and I am convinced that these tires are part of achieving that.
I would have no hesitation in paying the £129 fully inclusive price quoted by my local garage to replace, other than that they have said the can do an higher load rated Evergreen for £69 all-in. Money is tight so do I pay for the original equipment replacement or go value brand and risk loosing out on reduced fuel economy or safety risk over the next 30,000 miles?
I don't think you can edit a previous review, so this is an addition to the 06 2.0 auto forester below (in spain). I have changed the tires today 17/1/14, at (80,767 kls)>50,186 miles. having the 2 front wheels off 3 days ago, for a look at the pads etc. I checked the tread depth. as I drive close to the kerb on roundabouts to keep a straight line. the nearside front had little on the outside 1/4. but the 3/4 of the tire, plus the offside tire, and the back 2, had 3 1/2 to 4mill. app 5000 more miles (I think). I have only ever done (1 ton) 100 mph, a few times, I think they stick to the road like s--t to a blanket. as I've just had another set fitted I can't say that I don't like them, cos I do. if there is any other news for these tires i'll be back.
i drive an 06 forester auto. i have done 74000klms (45,981mls) in 7 years today (may/9/13)there is still about 4ml left on, but there is wear at the edges. ag, and the sun (live in spain)have taken there toll, there are hairline cracks in the sidewalls. time to change. i won't say i'm a hard driver, but i don't hang about either. i drive about 80% of the time without er indoors. our motorway speed limit is 120k about 75mph, i normally do 80/85mph without much noise. i have tried 160k 100mph a few times, and i must say it's not that bad. the best tire i have ever had
I've covered 45000 miles, keeping to the original supplied Yokohamas untill the last change when I fitted Michelins.I've always thought them noisy on the motorway,the wear rate is poor averaging 16000 miles per pair, although I am hard on tires.
The price, now up to £160 each is horrific.
The grip is great, no complaints there.
Getting the tracking checked was money well spent as well.
Overall, the most expensive by mile/cost. There is something better on the market. Pay £20 more for Michelins & get £50 more value/wear
Happy with the tires in every respect EXCEPT for the wear. 32,000km and they all need to be replaced. I got 74,000km out of my Michelins on my previous car (Subaru Impreza) so I know it's not my driving.
