It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.
Generally, the best winter tires will be Bridgestone Blizzak.
Falken Wildpeaks on my truck. They disperse heavy rain quite well.
I have a set of Falken at4w. Just drove thru nasty sleet/snow/freezing rain and they handle so good I almost forgot it was nasty out. The downside is they do tend to get a little vibration around 56-60mph when not inflated correctly (low)
I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.
I just replaced my AT3Ws with a set of AT4Ws (time for new new tires, no other reason) and to be fair neither of them looks very aggressive to me. That being said I absolutely love my Falkens and will probably never run anything else on my TJ.
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.
I had Open Country tires and they were horrible. Currently have falken wildpeak and they aren't amazing but 10x better than open country from my experience.
Got a 2025 Camry SE Hybrid with 15k miles on it. I keep my tires at 35 PSI all around and rotate them every 5k miles like clockwork. Dealership just told me my front tires are down to 3/32”, while the rears are still fine. They’re the stock Bridgestone Turanza EL440s that came with the car. I feel like that’s way too soon for them to be this worn I thought they were supposed to last close to 50k miles?
Potenza s001 is garbage
