Tires GT Radial or OEM Subaru
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.
Been using GT Radials on our pickups. We mainly do expressway, highway, and city driving, and a year and half in, we haven't had to vulcanize it once, versus our Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts towards the end of its life. Barely even pump up the tires.
Winter tires are significantly superior to AWD. Should you question that.
My 22 WRX was also good in the snow, there was times where people were getting stuck especially on hills and I would just cruise by with no issues. I had pilot sport all season 4 tires which are only meant for light snow and I had no issues.
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.
Tires feel fine (but I have only ever disliked one tire - BFG Advantage); will prob keep the GTs but might complain a bit and try to get comped road hazard coverage.
GT Radial is be the cheapest tires I would consider.
Tires not lasting. Needed to replace them at 12k miles and I’m not super hard on the car
