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.
I ended up opting for Federal 595RS-RR their cheaper and i like how they perform
I'm running 255/35R18 Federal 595RS-Pro and like them alot. Pretty affordable and nice level of grip.
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
Blizzak hands down. I get 3 winters out of a set no problem.
Bought a set of Blizzak WS90s two years ago and they have tons of tread left after two seasons. Wear obviously depends on how you drive, but mine have held up great for regular commuting and trips to the valley. Very good at handling deep snow, never got stuck.
Potenza Sports have a really stiff side wall. They in turn produce a loudee road noise.
Ya, I have Weatherpeaks on my 2013 Avalon. 29,000 miles and they are at 2/32. They have less than 100 miles of gravel use as well. I cannot recommend them.
I live in Massachusetts, I found the grandtek to be terrible in the snow. I got rid of them the first time I slid.
