Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper
I live in Canada and have ran Blizzaks on my awd vehicles for years now. They’re great for all winter conditions.
Bridgestone Blizzaks. Those tires on this platform have never given me more confidence in winter conditions in the Rockies.
Get a second set of wheels with some Bridgestone Blizzaks and you'll be fine in pretty much everything other than real deep snow; then the bumper becomes a plow.
I dailyed my E36 BMW with just a pair of Blizzaks on the rear, got me through Wisconsin winters.
Ran a 90's S14 240SX with the limited slip and Blizzaks. Was awesome in the snow.
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.
The Blizzaks are excellent on a heavier SUV (my old shitbox Wrangler) and served me very well last winter going between the mainland and Cape Breton
I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.
Cooper weathermaster st2 was by far the worst winter tires I've ever ran. Cooper zeon rs3 was the worst summer/all season.
I had them on a 2019 Sport. I got rid of them at about 25k. They hydroplaned dangerously.
