Initial Impressions
I really like these Nokian Encompass AW02s on my Subaru Legacy Touring XT. They handle as well or better and are much quieter than the Yokohamas that came on the car. I had no problem with 12in/30cm snowfalls and were better on ice than the Cross Climate 2s I had before. Too soon to tell about tire wear but I'll update that later.

I have a set of these on my 2024 Subaru Legacy Touring XT. I am very pleased with the quiet and comfortable ride. The tires handle very well considering they are all weather tires and not UHP summer tires. We've had two snow events of 8 and then12 inches in the last two weeks. The second event today was the 12 incher which fell after heavy rain which froze solid when the temperature went down to -16C/3F. The tires have been excellent in the snow even when chewed up and rutted. They are pretty good on ice but not as good as a full winter tire as we might expect. Still I am very pleased with my decision to buy these.

Maybe in the future there could be a test of the European and North American versions of tires as most of the tests are of the European versions.
