Echoing Nokian for winter tires. Tier 1 in that regard along with Bridgestone.
But if you can afford them, real winter tires like Bridgestone Blizzaks are a huge upgrade. Not just in snow, but on dry cold days where even good All Seasons are losing a lot of traction.
My one experience with Bridgestone was excellent on a Ford Expedition. Got 65k out of them an excellent traction.
My Challenger is an absolute beast with Nokian Hakkapeliittas, (rwd,v8, manual).
I have Bridgestone Potenza RE71R's on my Z and the grip is phenominal. Its a summer tire though and they can be slippery in low temps so take that into consideration
Go with the 215 and save some money. You’ll have plenty of grip and be fine. I ran that size Blizzaks on my past WRXs.
When it comes to brands, best ones are Bridgestone, but remain the costliest along with Michelin. MRF, CEAT and Apollo offer similar cost and have average lifecycle and performance.
My Blizzaks have more tread and I've used them for four seasons now and I noticed last winter that they are absolutely not what they were when I bought them.
my Turazas SUCK i got 18k (over almost 3 years) on 80k Turanzas!!!
I have a 2024 nissan pathfinder platinum. Has Bridgestone ALENZA. Dog shit tires. The car has 28k miles. Rotated the tires every oil change about 4-5k miles. And there toast.
