We run Bridgestone Blizzak and they are amazing, the car is a beast in the snow with them on.
Blizzak is the king for studless snow traction, I think Michelin X-Ice is a little better on ice, Continental VikingContact is another great option for a little less $$$. I'm currently on Vredestein Wintrac+ (something like that) and they're fine.
I\u2019ve had the Bridgestone S23 and they lastet 3k miles. Best 3k miles I\u2019ve ridden but def not the best mileage.
After switching to Bridgestone Weatherpeak All-Weather tires i get 8.1 as the lowest. 29-30MPG.
Pirelli Rosso IV's or Bridgestone S23 are probably the best 2 sport focused tires on the market right now that arent sports touring like the Mich Road 6's. I have S23's on my MT09 (came stock, and have since been replaced with a new set)
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
Your best mileage will come from a low rolling resistance tire. I use Ecopias by Bridgestone. I had Weatherpeaks on before that and had noticeably worse fuel efficiency (8-10 mpg difference.)
Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
