Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.
Was my favourite tyre. I tried the sc and the r11s back to back and felt much more confident on the r11s. I had less front wheel movement under braking and less slide from the rear so stuck with them
For MPG we had good results with the Bridgestone ecopia ep422 , we’ve since switched over to a tire that has better snow performance after using those up.
I've had my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks for several months now...absolutely love them.
Great ride, very quiet, great wet and dry performance.
Just had our first real dump (and a nasty one at that) of snow with a good layer of ice underneath (it rained for two days prior to the snow). Ive been driving around for the last couple days thoroughly impressed with the snow and ice performance of these tires. I had guys ahead of me slipping and sliding almost right through a 4 way stop and my Seltos didn't even kick on the ABS when I came up to it. Any slippage in corners and on acceleration seemed very gradual and easily controllable. They have been very confidence inspiring in the crap weather we have just had...I would highly recommend them.
The best all weathers for snow/ice are the General Altimax 365 and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak. These are very good choices for winter biased all weathers. While they won't be quite as good as the best dedicated snow tires, they will be as good or better than an average snow tire.
Bridgestone B 290. Great all round tyre.
I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.
My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.
I went with the Ecopia 422+ on my 2013, replacing my stock tires. Range has been good (if not a little better), and the ride is MUCH quieter than the stock tires. Like I didn't realize how loud the road noise was until it was gone.
I'm a little late to the discussion, but I had some Nokian all-weather tires for a couple years (on a Golf) they were better than all seasons, but definitely not as good as good winter tires in the, uh, winter.
I had Blizzak on my 2014 X5 and traded it in with them, on purpose. Noisiest tires ever. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, and the X5, due to a number of cooling system failures.
