Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.
I have a Subaru with new snow-rated tires. That doesn't mean it's true for every other driver on the road.
Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks
I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.
Its the tires folks, not the car. Anyone can do that, if you have reliable tires.
Michelin X-Ice. Haven't found anything better. No amount of Canadian snow or ice has been able to stop my SUV and when those are on, and I live in a hilly area.\n\nI have General Artimaax on my other car, they are ok, but road noise is insane. Won't buy those again.
Winter tires are significantly superior to AWD. Should you question that.
I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.
The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.
