Found a guy on graigslist selling barely used bridgstone blizzaks, I mounted them on my 17" stock wheels. Went through last winter here in the northeast and I def recommend these!
I got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS-80 P195/65/r15 tires from costco and I am very happy with them.
I have ~90,000 miles of winter driving under my belt, and will say that these Winter Sport 4D tires are probably the best that I've ever used.
See also: reddit.com/r/mazda3 - they seem to recommend the Bridgestone Blizzaks.
Bridgestone blizzak ws80 or Michelin X-ice3.
Our Kia did not come with a spare but with the fix-a-flat can and air compressor. This is the main reason I went with Bridgestone DriveGuards on the new wheels.
I have purchased 2 complete sets of bridgestone RE-11's from Costco and 3 complete sets of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. If they are using inferior tires I have no idea how orgasmtastic real Super Sports would be because they are hands down the best street tires I've ever had.
My Dunlop wintersport 3ds have 4 seasons on them right now, this will be their last. they are not as good as they were new, but they are decent and predictable.
Just chiming in here from Wisconsin also with a PP GTI. I also have the ****ty stock Bridgestone AS and they are completely useless in the snow. I don't blame the diff at all as it can't make a ****ty tire magically increase its friction coefficient or change its design pattern.
My car has RE97AS's on it. Basically rated 2.6 on ice traction...no wonder I slid down the entire off ramp. Ordered some blizzak LM-32's and some new rims.
