Yup. There's next to no info about them. Apparently they're supposed to take the strengths of the G009 and improve the wet & snow traction.

 

So far I'm pleased with them. They don't flop around like the RE92s.

Have these on my OBS - like them alot for what they're designed to do. Had the G009s on my Forester - good tire, long wear and got around in the snow really well.

I was trying to decide between the G019 and the Michelin Exalto A/S. Went with the G019 cause, well, they were cheaper :redface:

 

Good tires, but I've noticed they're quite noisy when the steering wheel is at full lock, say when you're going around a cul de sac. I suppose it's the outer tread blocks digging in?

Anyone know what kind of psi I should be running?

 

On my OBS I run +2 PSI front/rear (32/30 versus 30/28 stock), Forester I ran 35/34 versus 29/28 stock) unless I'm loaded down in the back (or towing), then I increase the rears to 38 and keep the fronts at the previous settings.

Thanks,

 

I'm running 33 all around, but they still "look" underinflated. I guess I should just leave well enough alone.

 

Underinflated is a visual cue, but if the tire is wearing properly and handling correctly, the pressure may be fine, with one important note: Set your tire pressures to stock F/R PSI bias settings and keep your AWD happy. Subaru AWDs are all meant to run with a F/R bias, usually 2 psi difference so when you increase pressures, just go up by the same amount F&R. Legacy 2.5i stock pressures: 32F/30R; +2psi: 34F/32R, +3psi: 35R/33R; and so on until you reach the manufacturer's maximum pressures for that tire size and load range.

 

But, seriously, run the proper bias so you're not inordinately binding the AWD.
