I moved 2x Foresters and an Outback onto Geolanders GO12 tread because they are suv tyres with excellent sidewall protection on our unsealed roads. I do full motorway, country farm offroad river and beach driving. These tyres are well rated for my level of all round daily use and I have never had a problem with them. They complement the symmetrical awd of these vehicles I find I can go where other awd/4wd vehicles get stuck.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Subaru Forester S Turbo drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have just got rid of 4 of these on my car and I an glad. These were the noisiest tyres I have ever had and made driving my subaru forester unpleasant. On anything but the smoothest surface they produced a horrible roar. I replaced them before they were worn out with Avom ZV5 and the car is a pleasure to drive again, I also get 4MPG extra and a lovely smooth ride. I would never recommend michelin tyres.
I had these fitted to my Subaru forester after 2 sets of Yokohama tyres which were excellent, lasted 30 to 40k miles. The michelin tyres are very poor, loads of road noise, follow ripples in the road and in my opinion do not suit the vehicle at all. I used to enjoy driving my car but not with these fitted. I have had the suspension, transmission, bearings etc checked and the garage informed me it was the tyres. The sooner they wear out the better.
