I've tried Michelin, Yokohama, Nokian, and General tires on this car,
It eats up tires quickly, and you're lucky to get 35,000 out of a set...no idea why, just seems to wear them out almost twice as fast as my FWD wagon...so, I reckon it's because the car is AWD, but it doesn't make sense to me.
The Nokian WR-G3 are pricey, but have outstanding snow and ice traction. At half the price, the General RT-43 have been great: good grip in all conditions, quiet, and seem to be wearing as well as anything that's been on it.
If you're not driving in snow: General RT-43
If you are: Nokian WR-G3.
