I use Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 in 245/40R18. No complaints, fantastic winter tire.
I have Blizzaks and they're fantastic. I picked my buddy up from the airport during a blizzard last winter with them on. We passed 2 cops and about 6 trucks slid off into ditches, along with a few other cars pulled over because they couldn't get traction. I made it there and back without ever feeling like I wasn't in control.
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.
Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.
But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.
Just FYI, if you are looking for winter capability (snow/ice) the Weatherpeak sucks after 2 seasons of driving (\~ 30,000kms).
What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.
