So I switch to higher profile vehicles. The absolute best is my Mazda CX-5 AWD which has sufficient ground clearance and I put on Steelies with Bridgstone Blizzak WS90s. During R1 or R2 snow conditions, I can drive around on icy roads without slipping and without the use of chains. While others are putting their chains on , I'm driving around them effortlessly and in full control.
I have blizzaks they are amazing
Mine are quiet (but then, im comparing to a corolla on 19's...)
I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.
The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.
I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.
The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak
I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.
Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.
Just got a whole set of these myself. Holy flexy sidewalls Batman! Comfy ride? Yes. Curb or rock protection? 1/10 ???? Quietness? 10/10! Cornering? 5/10.
My 2021 ID.4 first edition came with Alenza tires.
They were bad in the snow (got snow tires) and I went through them in <20k miles. Not impressed at all.
Bridgestone Runs flats on my x7 last about 16k miles.
