I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.
My current set are Vredestein Hyoertrac All Season Performance Tirea. We had quite a bit of snow last year and I was surprised at how well they worked.
If you are a Costco member find the tires you want through them and then contact Discount Tire via chat and they will price match the Costco out the door price. I bought a set of Bridgestone tires for my F250 and it saved me a couple of hundred dollars.
All season tires dont compare to good winter tires. I discovered nokian hakkapallittas and never getting any other winter tire
I got two new tires Friday from Discount Tire, Nexen N Priz AH5. I made an appointment, and after tires, installation, and tire disposal fee it was $268 and I was in and out of there within the hour.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s are le top du top.
I'm at 30K on OEM Proxes, swapping out this weekend. Still good tread but a few pieces missing on sidewalls, enough to justify the expense.
I bought a set of Michelins for my F250 several years ago because they were the “best”. The truck had a vibration after the new tires were installed but since they were Michelins I didn’t even think it was a tire issue. All four tires were out of round. ALL FOUR.
Once I let a tire place talk me into buying Toyos instead of Michelins. Immediate regret as I drove away as the sidewalls were way too soft.
