If you don’t plan on using your Outback for any off-roading, you’ll have two main choices when it comes to selecting your tires: all-season, or touring/summer. Which type is right for you will depend on your local climate, intended use, and personal preferences. Touring Tires Touring tires can vary a lot between manufacturers, but their main purpose is to provide drivers with a smooth, quiet ride, long wear, and great handling. Their relatively low rolling resistance also helps this type of tire to improve the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. These characteristics add up to a tire that’s great for long journeys in a mild climate. Because they improve fuel efficiency, you’ll spend less on gas during your trip. The comfortable ride they offer will also help to minimise distractions and reduce the aches and pains that long stretches of driving can trigger. All-Season Tires Although they’ve come a long way in recent years, all-season tires are unlikely to offer the same comfort that touring tires can. However, they more than make up for this if you live in a wet or varied climate. As their name suggests, all-season tires can keep their grip during whole host of weather conditions, making them a safer option in rain and light snow. If you tend to eschew off-roading, but occasionally contend with inclement weather, all-season tires could be the best option for your Outback.
