Canadian here, winter tires are good enough for most driving on ice and snow. I've got a set of Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires on my Ford Edge FWD and it goes through all conditions just fine.
I’d recommend Michelin CrossClimates. They’re quite good in the snow (3 peak rated) and in all weather situations. Quite a breakthrough in tire tech IMO.
Think I'm going to get Michelin Cross-Climates in lieu of dedicated snows this year. Don't get much snow in NoVa, but I've always been happy to have winter tires both in the cold and for the few times it does snow. I've read an awful lot about the Michelins being almost as good as a dedicated winter tire in the snow, so I'll be interested to see how they behave -- they'll almost certainly be good enough for my needs.
I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The responsiveness and grip I got compared to stock is insane, especially if they got a bit less pressure than asked by Mazda.
MICHELIN CrossClimate® 2. Best tire I ever bought.
+1 for the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks. They are also symmetrical / non - directional so you can have a full size spare and do 5 tire rotation. I run them on my 09 STI in the northeast.
The overall best one is probably the Michelin CrossClimate2, which has excellent wet and dry traction in addition to its excellent winter traction.
I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
Currently I have Michelin CrossClimate but, in my opinion they are not as good as Defenders.
I had PS4S for years as well then figured to switch to the All season version of Michelin. BAD mistake on my part. Car was squirrelly and i initially thought maybe its a new tire and the treadblocks are high. Wrong. the feeling of the brand new PS4S was not squirrelly at all when I went back to it.
