Tires Replacement - Crosstrek 2018

[nancy813*]

A comment and a question:

I got a non-repairable nail puncture in the sidewall of one of my tires in my 2018 Crosstrek, 35k miles (I drive fewer miles than I used to! and it's all highway or local town road traffic.)

Everything I read about replacing 1 tire on a Crosstrek said that if a replacement tire is within 2/32 of the other tires, the differential should be OK from damage.
The tire store measured my tires -- all are at 8/32 and a new tire is 10/32, so I got lucky and made it within the tolerance. I was surprised, but the tread gauge doesn't lie...

I had figured I'd get about ~55k miles on the original tires, so I'd be replacing all 4 in about ~20k miles. But for now, I'll use the one replacement tire since it's within 2/32 of the other tires and replace all 4 when the tread is near the end.​

Question: Looking ahead, other than the OEM Yokahama Geolander G91F (tire guy said they're expensive), what are some recommended brands/models of replacement tires for a Crosstrek that people have used? Mostly highway/local town driving, no off-road or rough conditions.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Probably one of the best for touring and all season out there right now. SInce you have no desire to jump off pavement, this may be the way to go. You should have time to save up, and this isn't an expensive tire for today. Not cheap, but you aren't getting cheap.
