I am really impressed with this tires! First time I use a UUHP tire, and it was more than I hope. Bought this because the Goodyears Eagle F1 Supersport were sold out for a few months and now I don´t regret it to choose these. Now I think it´s not worth it to people buy the Michelin Pilot Sport S. They are really expensive. Buy Michelins if you go to the track and if you see that they give better lap times. After these ones I will try the new Bridgestone Potenza Sport.

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 Legacy 3.0R drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great tire. Sporty enough for a UHP segment, great confindence on wet surface.
second pair of Vredestein's so I am hoping these are as good if not better than the first. so far I am delighted on my 2013 Subaru Legacy 3.6R.
Having had our first significant snowfall of the year, a solid 10cm on the side roads, these tires have performed exceptionally. They provide ample grip on even significant snow covered inclines, granted with the assistance of the AWD system in my legacy, but its is the lateral grip while cornering and stopping power that really stands out.
Even in lower temperatures - sub 5/6 degrees C- they remain noticeably more flexible, retaining the same grip available at higher temperatures.
Wear is too early to comment other than there are no real signs after 1000 miles on a fairly potent legacy spec b.
100% recommend to anyone looking for a winter/ all season.

Don't worry about the brand - they are actually made by Avon in Wiltshire. They are great in the snow and ice (dispatched the "beast from the east" no problem on a Subaru Legacy 3.0R), and for the price, can't be beaten. Don't look bad either. Will definitely buy again.
I attached the tires with SUBARU Regacy B4 3.0R. Very quiet as same as Bridgestone REGNO. The driving feeling is very smooth like silk and the tires wrap the roughness of road, so the cabin is very quiet and at the same time the dry grip is exellent.
These Kumo tires replaced Bridgestones on my Subaru Spec B and have performed excellently. Wear is very good for a car with 245HP and despite being summer tires have enabled me to drive through deep snow out of my housing estate while other people have been stuck. However it has to be considered the Spec B is 4 wheel drive with a limited slip differential.The general road handling is superb and in particular wet road driving/brake is so very safe. For example on one occasion I had to drive from Frankfort to Luxemburg in heavy rain and easily maintained a speed of 85 to 90mph. At no time was there any change in steering feel or load, the car just felt safe. On the Autobann running at 140mph the car feels totaly stable which is a compliment to both car and tire. I have owned the car for 6 years and driven a total of 55,000 miles. Kumo tires were fitted just after purchase and this report reflects my experiance with two sets of Kumo tires.
Car feels fantastic on these boots. Too early to comment on wear after only 3 months so no rating given for that.
Ai commencé à acheter ces pneus après avoir eu des pneus pas cher asiatiques. Bonne leçon pour moi.
Dès le début, j'ai mieux senti la voiture! Moitié moins de bruit de la route et beaucoup moins de résistance au roulement. Sur le sec pneu accroché à la route. Sur le mouillé vous vous sentez encore attaché à la route, nécessite une bonne poussée juste que les pneus arrêtent la traction. La consommation de carburant dans mon cas est allée de 13,8 à 13,4 au fil du temps. Je suis très heureux que ces pneus amortissent une partie de leur coût de cette façon. Vivant à Melbourne, en Australie, les conditions routières ne sont jamais très mauvaises en vrai. Mais ces pneus sont super!

Started by buying these tires after having a asian made cheap tire. Thought of it as a treat for myself.
From the outset I the car felt better! Half the road noise and much less rolling resistance. In the dry felt planted to the road. In the wet you still felt attached to the road, took a fair push to make the tires break traction. The fuel consumption in my case went from 13.8 to 13.4 over time. I am very happy with the tires paying some of their cost back that way. Living in Melbourne Australia, the road conditions never get that bad in real terms. But these tires are great!
