What kind of tires do I need for my 2017 Subaru Forester?

It’s time to replace the tires on our 2017 Forester Touring. We’re considering Michelin’s new CrossClimate2 Grand Touring All-Season tires. Does anyone have these tires on your vehicle and if so, how do you like them? The other tires we are considering are the Michelin Premier A/S or Michelin. Thank you for any recommendations.

When to dump tires on a Subaru Forester?

Although they have a long treadware rating and reportedly do well in the wet over their life due to sipes that actually open as they wear, initial tread is only about 8.5/32″. So if your alignment isn’t near perfect these might be a poor choice. I typically dump tires once they reach around 4/32″ as most tires do poorly in the wet at that point.
