Has anyone replaced tires on an Outback recently? Seeking experiences and advice. Yokohama Avid 4S looks like a good tire, but I';d like to know how they handle in terms of cornering and wet weather. In Winter I run snow tires. Thanks in advance.... Mark
You didn't say what year OB. If post-99 (16" wheels), then choices open up considerably.

Mark;
I have no experience with the Yokohama Avid 4S tire but I had a set of Michelin HydroEdge tires installed a couple of weeks ago on my 97 OBW. During some recent heavy spring rain, I had a chance to test them out and was very impressed. They have great wet traction and cornered like the road was dry. They truly do perform like their commercial.
You may want to consider them if your'e not committed to the Yokohama Avid 4S.
P.S. - I too drive on dedicated winter tires, Michelin Artic Alpins.

If you haven't been to this site it's worth a look:
Yes, since last Fall there have been a lot of reports filed about the Yoko and other tires that you could use. Like I suggested, with 16" wheels, I think you have some better choices than the Yoko.
