I just purchased an 05 Forester shod with Yokohama Geolandar tires. They seem okay as they are new. However, I've researched them on tirerack and many, particularly Forester owners, have given them very bad reviews. I noticed something strange about them. They have a temperature rating of A (good) but a traction rating of (B) bad. This is the first H speed rated tire I've ever seen with a B traction rating. I realize most OEM tires are a compromise, but why would Suburu spec a B traction tire on an AWD vehicle? Does not seem logical. Finially, what can I expect from this tires down the road after some miles are racked up?
