An update for the Subaru section. After quite a bit of research and price-checking, I replaced the awful Goodyear Aquatread 3's with a set of Bridgestone Turanzas. The ride is considerably quieter than the cupped Goodyears, of course. Winter's coming so I'll report back with their mud and snow performance.

The Goodyears lasted just a bit under three years and had some treadwear left but they were cupped and wearing extremely unevenly. The Bridgestones are not uni-directional, so they can be cross-rotated.

Mileage: 80,491, put the Goodyears on at 39,056.

Oh, and I can heartily recommend Tom Frost Firestone in Warrenton, VA. Competitive pricing, local vendor, very responsive, and fast installation.
