Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO
Get Bridgestone Blizzak WS-90 for cars, DM-V2 for SUVs. Don't buy "performance" snow tires, they aren't real snow tires.
7k is nothing? My bridgestone A41 last 30k miles (front) or 15k miles (rear) when commuting.
I have a 2015 GSX-S750 that I've run Bridgestone T30/31 for many years. Solid dry performance, decent wet grip and long life.
Blizzaks.
I recommend Bridgestone Weatherpeak (Subaru Ascent).
I've been running Blizzaks (WS80, then WS90) on the stock wheels on my '18 Sportwagen since new and have loved them.
I bought the Weatherpeak 2 years ago. They were great tires in messy weather. No complaints at all there. But they wore down very quickly. Like in 25-40k.
I ran RS11s against S22s, and the S22s were just as fast and lasted much longer.
The problem with LRR tires is they suck at doing the things you need a tire to do, like braking and cornering. I once put a set of Bridgestone Ecopias on a Mazda5... A FWD minivan with 153 Horsepower should not be able to spin the tires all the way through 1st and 2nd gears taking off from a stop sign.
My 2021 ID.4 first edition came with Alenza tires.
They were bad in the snow (got snow tires) and I went through them in <20k miles. Not impressed at all.
