Tires BFGoodrich or OEM Subaru
You can now get the K 03 in the OEM size for the 20” wheel. I have them and love them but it’s a lot of tire if you’re not off roading.
Ultra-High Performance All-Season (best summer grip for A/S)
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus
BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S Plus
Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks
I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.
Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.
I run the BF Goodrich K02, but I’ve heard the new K03 is a bit average.
Ended up with BFG ADVANTAGE CONTROL tires. Performance was much, much better in the rain and snow but my range dropped like a rock. The tires are absolutely fine for the daily grind since I plug in every night, but efficiency dropped 20%.
I have k02 on mine and i dont like them. They look great and in mud and dirt they are great but a little water ore snow and ice and they break free if i goose it just a hair.
I have the BFGoodrich ones and hate them. Burned through half the tread thickness in a couple hot summer months. But even with still plenty of tread, the mf's slip when it's damp out... 0/10
