Tires BRIDGESTONE or Vredestein
First snowfall here in Toronto, ON on new years eve and they did not disappoint. +1 on the break in, as the tires began to come in on their own with the added kms. Also, nvh is simply superb, these are the quitest tires I have ever driven
When those tires died, I bought them a set of BLIZZAK winter tires and they're SO MUCH better!!! They aren't quite as smooth and quiet on dry, but there's tons more traction in even deep snow.
But to be honest, the best snow tires are Bridgestone Blizzaks. Hands down the best I have ever had.
Blizzacks are nice on icy roads.
Believe it or not but narrower tires are better for snow. I have Bridgestone blizzaks since studs are illegal here. Honestly it’s like the snow isn’t even on the ground
Picked up the weatherpeaks for use in Toronto 2 months back on my CX-5. It's been miles better than than the stock Toyos (quiter, better road feel) and didnt notice a fuel economy hit at all.
Bridgestone Blizzaks. You will love the grip they provide.
At 45 degrees and below a regular all season tire will start to harden and lose grip, even on bare pavement. If you live somewhere where it gets cold get the Blizzaks
I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
