vs
Tires GISLAVED or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.
Pros: beast in the snow
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
I put snow tires on the day before a pretty good snowfall in Northeast Pa. This is my first WRX, I burned a half tank and had the time of my life. 10/10 best car ive driven in the snow
Pros: best car in snow
Vehicle:
Subaru
BUT THEY WERE BOTH AWESOME RUBBER, AND YOU COULD DRIVE STRAIGHT UP ANYWHERE
Pros: awesome rubber, drive anywhere
Vehicle:
Saab
I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.
Pros: great on unplowed roads
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
Pros: good and reliable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Pros: successful in snow
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I've had Gislaved Nordfrost 200...My favorites were the Gislaved and will be getting new ones this year.
Pros: favorites, getting new ones
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
For a good balance of LONG wear and good grip I've been getting Gislaved NordFrosts. Those things seriously take four winters of high mileage, mostly bare pavement commuting to wear out.
Pros: long wear, good grip, durable
Gislaved is a Continental brand: they are OK-ish tires at best.
Cons: OK-ish tires at best
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
Cons: tires not lasting, early replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
