Initially had a good impression, with good grip allround, including snow, but the tread started getting damaged with vertical cracks. With my first set I wasn't being careful with it, going offroad on rocky terrain and some spirited driving. So I bought a second set thinking I'll just be more careful. Same cracking appeared on the tread, chunks are even falling off. Good longevity though, at 25000 miles they have at least two thirds tread left.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Subaru 2010 Forester Diesel drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Very good allround tire, with good attributes in dry, wet, offroad, mud, snow and good feedback. A little noisy, but good longevity also.
Late mid update, AS7has been a decent all round tire for my Forester, wearing very well, minimal tire pressure adjustments, a negative is they can be noisy on some surfaces, but work well on the Forester on dry and wet surfaces.
these replaced a set of Toyo Proxes CF2, Early days but so far found an improvement with good grip and braking in the dry and especially the wet, they do appear a little noisy on rougher tarmac compared to the Toyo, and despite the review test my MPG has improved since fitting,
I will update when i have some more miles and the weather cools
