So I switch to higher profile vehicles. The absolute best is my Mazda CX-5 AWD which has sufficient ground clearance and I put on Steelies with Bridgstone Blizzak WS90s. During R1 or R2 snow conditions, I can drive around on icy roads without slipping and without the use of chains. While others are putting their chains on , I'm driving around them effortlessly and in full control.
i’ve got a 2.5 gen so i can’t say much on sizing, but check out land sail. i got ls588 UHPs on mine and ive never had a quieter, smoother ride with insane grip for sub $100 a tire.
i have landsail ls588 Ultra High Performance tires on mine 245/40 R18s. good price and very quiet while having insane grip
I have blizzaks they are amazing
Mine are quiet (but then, im comparing to a corolla on 19's...)
I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.
The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.
I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.
The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak
Just got a whole set of these myself. Holy flexy sidewalls Batman! Comfy ride? Yes. Curb or rock protection? 1/10 ???? Quietness? 10/10! Cornering? 5/10.
Have had my CX-30 through one Minnesota winter thus far on the stock Turanzas. Got through fine, but the car was also only about 4-5 months old at that time. I have already noticed some issues going into my second winter, one semi snowy day where nothing accumulated and I was sliding through roundabouts and was a little nervous about going around bends in the road.
The ecopias are garbage.
