I've had Coopers in the past and really liked them. 640 wear rating, unlimited time, 70,000 mile tread life warranty. $714 total cost through Subaru dealer.
Wife won't care, so long as they are quiet and deal with rain and snow.

If Wes is right, and after 5 winters they suffer, I really should be due since this coming up will be the 6th winter. Bought the car in September 2012.

Not a happy camper right now and just hope it’s not some major thing. As I told the wife earlier, not gonna play games with this vehicle for too long and if it’s not going to stay reliable, I’ll just start looking seriously for something newer. And I’m thinking that getting something “cheap to keep” is probably the best solution if I happen to go down that road. And a long warranty will be crucial since I’ve been spoiled with being under a warranty since December of 2013. But just hoping this is just a minor issue and it will behave itself going forward as would like to keep it another year or two really. A great vehicle over all and really has been very good up to now.

So buying a new vehicle is just not gonna happen for awhile if I can help it!

So, it's been suggested that I get new tires for the Outback, pronto.
Normally, I'd use Discount Tire, but they don't carry either of the choices that I really want. I'll take one more look at what they do have, and how much it costs. We've had the car for 32 months and it has only 23,000 miles on it. It gets maybe 8-10K a year, given that the wife and daughter split the driving. If I can get 30,000-40,000 out of the next set, I'll be perfectly happy with that. That will get us to when the car is paid off.

Actually should get what you want, though I did do considerable research to come down to this short list.

Now, if you are buying a winter tire/wheel package, that's a different story.

I really liked the Coopers we had on the VUE, so I'm likely to go that route again.
I looked again at Discount Tire - anything similar in terms of tread life is going to be way more expensive, so I'll be calling the dealer today. Hoping to get in on Saturday - though, @breld (and wife), @jpp5862 and I are hoping to attend the Denver Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning.
Stop the presses! I found another chain (Big O Tire) that also carries the Coopers, and they are about $6 less per tire than the dealer. And, I can get them installed today.

But, they have to be shipped. Once the wife wants something done, she doesn't have a lot of patience. And, I've bought from Big O before - they have a pretty good track record with customer service.

Walmart was the same price, maybe $10 less, than Mavis. Probably save a bit on install, but then again, it's Walmart. But good coverage on the road hazard warranty!

Walked their lot and found a red over beige 2016 Tiguan SE with around 16K for 19,900. Plus a couple 2017 white Jetta’s with miles between 9K and 11K for around $17,750. One had a black interior, the other beige. Definitely tempted to be honest but, with the 2018 models comes the great new warranty so would be dumb to buy used right now. Really am a perfect candidate to lease except I just drive too many miles now. I like being under warranty, pure and simple, and don’t want older than 6 or so years.
Hopefully this will be the last issue for awhile and glad I made it under the warranty wire as suspect it would’ve cost somewhere around $500 or so. Just something not budgeted for!

You're likely just fine using tires five or six years old; I'm just saying that there is degradation in performance at that age (even if the tires have few miles).

Do I need to stop driving my vehicle?
No. The possibility of this issue occurring is extremely rare.
However, you should stop driving your vehicle if any of the following warning signs occur:
- You see smoke entering the interior through the heating and cooling air vents.
- You smell smoke, or a plastic burning odor, in the interior.
If any of these warning signs occur, then as soon as possible, carefully move away from traffic, pull over to a safe location, and shut off the engine. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive your vehicle.
Dial 911 in the event of an emergency or contact an authorized BMW center immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW center for inspection and, if necessary, repair.

Offerings like "twin turbo" also served to reduce turbo lag by including smaller individual turbos that could spool faster (i.e., require less exhaust pressure), but they still depend on the flow of exhaust gas and, therefore, include some level of lag.

going to try and take a little road trip this weekend to finally get it opened and and a few miles on it. Really curious what it will do on a straight highway jaunt.
2 weeks and almost 100 miles of my own, and still liking it! Really grips well ripping around an off ramp too. Much different than the Sonata which was tuned for comfort.
