I had this tires on my outback 24’. I might say that they are amazingly safe and stable on snow, but have pure comfort on rainy days. Noticible noise on wet/dry road. Road feedback is also poor. You can even feel how soft they are. I would strongly reccomend them for Nordic counties, but for middle Europe not at all.

Subaru Outback Touring XT: For many years Subaru fitted Yokohama Geolanders to Outback and Forester, they being the best compromise for bitumen and gravel roads. Those cars are "all road" cars, pitched at people who did a lot of touring, bush adventuring and so on - "See You Out There". Alenza a much quieter, softer, better handling tire than Geolander on bitumen but poor performance on gravel. Subaru have surrendered to the city drivers? The adventurers now relegated to also-ran's? I am replacing my Alenzas with Pirelli Scorpion.

Very good tire, but little bit loud, but maybe its just car.

As a skier, I was looking for a tire that could handle PNW weather from October to April. At home close to sea level, the roads are typically above zero C and wet. So travelling up to 1,400 meters the weather goes from rain to freezing rain, sleet, then snow. With all the wintry road conditions you might imagine. These Hakka's on my Outback are superb. They are a little noisy at 100 kmph now in their 5th winter, (35 months) so I will likely replace them with the R5 SUV version in October 2025. Overall, for the price and the driving confidence, they are well worth the $37.00 CDN a month.

Bery quiete and soft. But hantling and braking is poor. It feels like driving winter tire in hot summer.

Bought these to replace the OEM Yokahama Avid tires on 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx Edition, especially with winter coming. Purchased at Sam's Club for $168.00 per tire-not a bad price at all. The tread is definitely not an aggressive off-road or even AT tread, but the tire is 3 peak mountain winter rated and is made with off-road durability. I have been on some long gravel and small rocky roads and have not even noticed a chip in the tread. On road handling is fine with just a bit of road noise from the tread pattern, which while not an AT pattern, is somewhat aggressive for a road tire. Coupled with the Subaru's AWD system, the tire performed great in several inches of both powdery and wet snow. Likewise, traction of ice was confidence inspiring if you paid attention to your driving. With over 4000 miles on these tires, I would not hesitate to recommend them and wish Subaru would make them their OEM tires! Highly recommended tire.

I have these on a 2013 Subaru Outback 2.0 diesel. By and large I have been really pleased with them, they are really good in the wet.
Today they showed their weakness and that was in the snow.
We have had about 5 inch of wet snow, they are not to bad on the fresh stuff but
driving back in my own tracks they were all over the place, not very confidence giving.
Won't be getting another set.

I am amazed at the performance of these all season tires especially in the snow and ice. Stopping distance isn’t quite as good as snow or studded tires but with these on in the winter I have better traction and steering than previous all winter tires I have run these a full winter and have had better handling and traction than winter tires. I will definitely get these tires again.

My tires are Primacy+ SUV which I believe is equivalent to Primacy 4+ in Australia for this size of tire. It's early days, but initial impressions are very positive. Grip in all conditions seems to be excellent, as does braking performance. I have not specifically rated wear (too soon) or handling (not tried anything beyond routine suburban and highway driving). The Subaru Outback is fairly softly sprung and the tire certainly complements that, giving an excellent ride. At first I thought the steering seemed a bit light and slightly flighty but then I discovered that the fitting centre had managed to get a 6lb difference between the pressures across the axle (in fact every one of the tires was at a different pressure, none of which were per the placard!). Having set the pressures correctly all round the slight lightness compared with the OE Bridgestone Dueler Sports remained, but the flightiness was gone. The steering is very linear and progressive and the car tracks true even in cross-winds. Note these are touring, not sports, tires and their characteristics (especially with a 60-profile side wall) reflect that. If you want precision, get Pilot Sports or Pirelli PZ4s which is what I have on my other cars. Initially the tires were not as quiet as I had expected, but they seem to be improving as they wear in a little. In any event they are a definite improvement on the Duelers in that respect. I have an impression that the rolling resistance is better, leading to slightly improved fuel consumption, which will be tested when we do our first long trip on these tires in a few weeks' time. Overall, I'm very positive, as I would have expected given previous/current experience on different cars with Michelin's Primacy ST, Primacy 3, Primacy 4 and Pilot Sport 2 & 4.

These tires are excellent for year round driving in Toronto, Canada. They are well suited to all poor road surfaces and potholes that we have to live with. They are quiet and durable. I have had them on my Subaru Outback 3.6r since MARCH 2019. No complaints and and I will buy them again.

Bought at Costco due to the rebate and 80,000 mile warranty. I did rotations every 5-7k and these only lasted 33,000 miles before they were all down to the wear bars with even wear. They were on a 2008 Subaru Outback. Would not recommend.
