Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
Blizzak ws90
the best Snow tires on the market are Blizzak they stick to anything. Although they only are good for 5000 miles on dry roads
Get snow tires. Bridgestone blizzak are amazing. All season tires are not.
If you end up deciding you want to get into it, first priority has to be brakes, followed by tires. Both will start to wear much faster and become a safety issue as you progress. For brakes, pads and fluids at minimum, and good to do discs too for most cars, and for tires, something that's dedicated (Hankook RS4, Kumho V730, Bridgestone RE71RS for example) and not just a good street summer tire like a PS4S
My wife's Prius is awesome in the snow. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires. Glad to hear you are going that route, just be aware there are different models of blizzak tires.
Bridgestone Blizzak tires.
Our 2009 Fit will go further than any vehicle in the snow that isn’t also wearing snow tires.
I actually didn't hate them on jeeps I've had in the past. Both my tj and xj had them. Iirc they were a 45k tire. Did ok in the ice and snow, but not excellent. Honestly they were pretty ok tires. With reasonable care, they Delt with slush and light snow pretty well when above the bottom 1/3 of the Tread. Ice was so-so, Reasonable enough to stop my xj without abs. They did pretty good off road, good enough to keep up with a stock or lightly modded jeep, and would probably tackle trails fine with careful lines and good technique. They fell flat in the wet. They were a little bit slick in the rain on pavement, and would turn into a grease ball in the mud.... But they weren't a mud tire. I bet they would be A perfectly reasonable choice for anybody living south of Iowa, or out west. Within reason they were just fine in Minnesota as well.
The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.
I have DM-V2s on an ascent they are not going to last 3 winters.
Bridgestone Turanza EV. The fit drove me crazy. Tires say they are the same size, but the wheel sticks out a little more for sure. It bothered me so much I brought the tires back
