I've run, at last count, more than 15 different tire models.
On the wagon.
On the same basic suspension setup.
In summer, winter, rain, snow, ice, etc.
Swapping back to back, not when tires are worn out.
I've also run 5 different tire setups on the STi.
I've put over 230,000 miles on the two Subarus.
I'll go with Dean on not trusting user reviews on Tirerack or anywhere else.
But for god's sake, trust the locals who have run the stuff, on your car
