When I had my Mk7 R, I put on Westlake winter tires and they were dirt cheap yet surprisingly very good.
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.
Bought Weatherpeaks instead of CC2 for our Crosstrek, no difference in MPG. They're quieter than the stock Falkens.
Snow traction isn't as good as dedicated winter tires but it's good enough for the winters around here.
If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.
Great track tire. I have about 6 hours of track time on mine and have maybe one event left in them.
My OEM 2022 Mazda 3 tire blew 4 months of ownership. Replaced all of them with westlake, no issue except to those incidents na need i vulcanize kasi malas sa pako.
Kung daily driving lang, okay sila.
I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
Finally got rid of them. They slide in the lightest snow. They also only lasted me 35k miles.
