Go with the 215 and save some money. You’ll have plenty of grip and be fine. I ran that size Blizzaks on my past WRXs.
When it comes to brands, best ones are Bridgestone, but remain the costliest along with Michelin. MRF, CEAT and Apollo offer similar cost and have average lifecycle and performance.
My AWD Sienna hybrid is great in the Chicago snow on the stock Bridgestone tires. I love it.
I got some cheaper wheels from tire rack that are “winter rated” 18x8.5 +35 squared setup and Blizzaks. It will be worth the investment.
I noticed the wiper issue on mine in February when I first got the truck. It's pretty annoying. You can get around it like others mentioned but I've heard some users report they've chipped the hood paint doing it so I don't' bother.
I'm also in NS by the way as I see you mentioned that in the comments. Those the stock tires you still running? I ordered steelies and Bridgestone Blizzaks for mine a few weeks ago. Just under $1,400 which isn't cheap but they are great tires in the snow and ice. Handled the snow like a champ today. I also have the same vent shades. They are amazing.
Bridgestone last absolutely ages and are brilliant in the wet, it’s what I have on my merc
I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.
Persönliche Erfahrung mit Allwetterreifen: wir haben jetzt seit ca. 2,5 Jahren Allwetterreifen auf unserer Familien-Möhre (Opel Corsa D 150ps). Diesen fahre ich sehr selten, da ich mein eigenes Auto habe, bei dem ich von Sommer auf Winterreifen tausche.
Ich habe das Auto dann im Frühjahr auf die Hebebühne gefahren, weil ich Mal drüberschauen wollte, wie der Zustand ist und habe etwas erschrocken festgestellt, dass die Vorderreifen nur noch ca. 1,7 mm Profil haben.
Am avut până anul trecut Blizzak lm005, am prins temperaturi de +15 grade iar diferențele au fost sesizabile la frânare, aderenta în general, care se rupea mult mai repede fie pe viraje sau accelerare de pe loc.
For reference, crappy and expensive Bridgestone Alenzas (summer tires) were put on mine (21 inch)
