Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
Mine is a 2018 VA WRX base, I have Blizzaks, WS90 model and they're excellent in deep snow or ice.
For context I’ve got them on a 2012 ford focus FWD, and they’ve absolutely blown my mind with how good they are in the snow. Great tires Goodyear
I got 360k on an axle of Bridgestone Ecopia and 300K on the other axle.
Bridgestone has always worked for me. Usually go for 350k+.
The oem stock Bridgestone alenza tires that come with the prologue’s are garbage. I replaced the set on my 2024 touring prologue with a set of Pirelli scorpion as3 all weather tires. I got them from discount tire for around $800. So much better and smoother ride now.
I ran Duratracs on my truck for a few seasons and they did fine in the winter. Last season I got a set of Blizzaks for the winter and they're game changing! The Duratracs were good in the winter but the Blizzaks are insanely good! You can't beat a dedicated set of winter tires in my opinion!
I’ve run both KO2’s and Blizzaks for the winter on my truck and I travel to the mountains regularly. I fully recommend spending the extra money for a proper winter tire set. The KO2’s weren’t bad, but its night and day compared to the blizzaks
The Bridgestones aren't terri-bad but I'll be happy when it comes time to swap them out for some DWS06+ instead.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
I had the Goodyears as OEM and they kind of sucked.
