Ran a 90's S14 240SX with the limited slip and Blizzaks. Was awesome in the snow.
Owner reviews for tires
I had Blizzak WS90s on my RWD BMW for all five years I owned it. My wife has an AWD SUV with all weather tires. She drove the BMW once in the snow and was shocked to find she felt safer in it than her SUV. The only real advantage AWD gives you in the snow is traction to get moving. Once you’re moving, which wheels are propelling you is much less important. What becomes important then is your ability to stop and maneuver. And that is dictated by your tires.
I have used Good Year Opti-life pro 3 for the last 100,000 KMS of driving that I have done in the 16 leaf. Around $200 per tyre fitted. I have original rims, so this price is for 205/55-16. I get 38,000 kms on average and I drive hard. I u-turn and reverse a lot as I do food delivery work 150 KMS a day. Highly recommend them.
The cross climates are great but weren’t cheap!
Replaced them with BFGoodrich from Costco at $1550 and getting a good ride with them. 65k warranty.
I am absolutely loving my 2014 WRX hatchback on Continental DWS's tires. My friend who absolutely WHIPS his Porsche Boxster couldn't keep up and told me to "slow dooooown".
My CX-50 rides incredibly smooth even on 20” wheels after upgrading to premium all-season tires from the stock Goodyear.
Objectively, Dextero DAT1 (budget all terrains from Priority Tire) on my beater truck. That said they are good tires for the money, just a little noisy.
I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
Just, my experience, but the x tours were the worst Michelins I've ever owned. Each tire had at least one flat, some tires had two flats in less than 2 years. My advice obviously is to pay more for the Defender series.
