Tires Achilles or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.
Pros: reliable tires
Vehicle:
Subaru
Winter tires are significantly superior to AWD. Should you question that.
Pros: superior to AWD
My 22 WRX was also good in the snow, there was times where people were getting stuck especially on hills and I would just cruise by with no issues. I had pilot sport all season 4 tires which are only meant for light snow and I had no issues.
Pros: good in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.
Pros: beast in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I put snow tires on the day before a pretty good snowfall in Northeast Pa. This is my first WRX, I burned a half tank and had the time of my life. 10/10 best car ive driven in the snow
Pros: best car in snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just picked up a set of Achilles Touring A/S sent to a local installer, under $400 all told.
Pros: good price
You can go with Achilles, on eBay, I’ve had some not bad
Pros: not bad
Achilles ATR Sport 2 aren’t too far off but I’ve only seen the Federals in photos since they are scarce here in NZ
Pros: not too far off
Cons: scarce in NZ
Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them. Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered. Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water. At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life. Dangerous! Avoid!
Cons: worst performing tire, dangerous
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I ran Achilles tires on my old VW and so did my buddy, this was 10ish years ago but they were terrible back then.
Cons: terrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
