What tires do you folks like on your Outbacks I am in Florida so it is dry
or pouring rain type tires I am looking for .
Wet traction is a concern and hydroplaning .
I looked on Tire Rack and came down to the Bridgestone or Continetal
any thoughts .
thank You

You might consider Kumho ECSTA ASX or other high performance or even max
perf. all season. Or some 'summer' tires with good wet traction. My ASXs
would likely suck in any but the lightest snow - but that's all we would
get anyway. And the grip in wet and dry is outstanding. Plus they're
cheap. I just put some Kumho Solus on the wife's outback - only because
I didn't wait for ASXs to be ordered for it. The Solus are just - OK -
next time I'll wait for the ASXs.
Read up at www.tirerack.com - good resource, good company too(got my
wheels and first set of ASX's from them - you might try to get a local
trie shop to match TR's prices - worked for me)

Dunlop Sport A2 - the best tire so far I have used.

The Toyo Proxes TPT is an excellent directional tire, but your alignment
has to be close to perfect, otherwise you will get flat spots and tire
noise. I am in FL too.
