Also, I think a new bolt set would be nice, will I have issues with these?: Muteki 41885B Black 12mm x 1.25mm Closed End Spline Drive Lug Nut Set with Key, (Set of 20)

I actually really like those lug nuts. I have them in chrome on my BRZ, and in black on my wife's Crosstrek.

Three types of tires: Summer, all season, and winter. All seasons perform drastically worse than either summers in summer, or winters in winter, and are barely adequate in summer and in winter.

If you must have an all season, the Michelin Pilot AS3 and Continental DWS are as good as they get, but I'm being serious when I say there is no surefire way to ruin this car harder and faster than putting on all season tires.

Run proper summer tires 3 seasons out of the year, if you barely get snow and it just gets cold, find some used all seasons locally on a subaru forum or facebook group and just run them from late December through March. I got a set of Forester alloys with Conti DWS all seasons for transition months for $200 locally.
