Best Tires for the Subaru 2009 BM Liberty 2.5 Premium

Goodyear GT-Eco Stage

Came on my Japan import Subaru Legacy 2.5i. At first, I was planning to change them as soon as I've got the car. Other plans in the way, and 15000 km down the track, I can definitely say it would have been a big mistake. This tires just perform, an perform well. So well, that today I've looked at the profile, and I can't say if they are different at all compared to when I've bought the car. The threadlife is pretty incredible.

Yes, it's a full time 4x4 car....but still, I wasn't as happy with the tires on a car since the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetrics 2 on my old Civic.

It's clear: what's Made in Japan, for their internal market, even as “chep” Eco stuff, is lightyears ahead of any crap the european manufacturers are putting on the market. It's almost uncomparable.

I don't drive fast (NZ roads are limited to 100km/h), but on twisty roads they grip and hold the road excellent. And 100km/h in the rain is a breeze. Total confidence. Could be because of the 4x4, but the tires still do their part brilliantly.

Fantastic tires. Originally purchased in 2013 to replace the OE Yokohamas which were completely worn out after 45000km.

First impressions were markedly reduced road noise at all speeds and road surfaces, fantastic feel through the steering wheel and comfortable ride. My wife did not believe the difference that quality tires can make to vehicle. After 3 years and nearly 60000km we have replaced them with another set of MC5s, even worn down past the wear indicators on all 4 the wet weather grip was exceptional.

As an 'all rounder' tire for use on all surfaces on your daily drive I think you'll be hard pressed to find better value.
