Tires MICHELIN or Continental
With the right tires your golden. Michelin Cross climate are top tier for light snow like this.
If snow tires are an overkill for you just replace OEM tires with Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those will be enough.
The easiest answer is to just get a set of the Michelin Cross Climate 2s (or similar 3-peak all-weathers).
Winter tires are best for you.
* Michelin Cross Climate 2 (I can vouch for these)
My go-to winters are Michelin X-Ice Snow they’re stupid good on ice, stay soft in deep cold, and don’t get noisy like some of the cheaper winter tires do.
Tesla descrive la Model 3 come “berlina sportiva” e… non sbagliano. È piantata a terra, non perde facilmente aderenza (mi è stata consegnata con Micheline e-primacy), MA… pecca in feedback e feeling di guida se siete abituati alle berline termiche con il motore davanti.
Continental Viking Contact 8 is leading the reviews this year. Having recently run Blizzaks amd R5's I can say they are my favoueite, just because they aren't a squirrely nightmare when it warms up (Blizzaks) and I can't draw many differences to the R5's, except for the massive difference in cost.
Uk here but up in the hills so get more snow than most. My goto is continental wintercontacts. Currently on ts870 on my My2000 jaguar xj8 4.0 sovereign
I have them on my 23 Forester and wish I had went with a different tire but that's simply my personal situation. The CC2 isn't a bad tire by any means. I've drove with them in our last snow storm which ended up dumping 6 inches and they didn't lose traction unless I made it and even then they'd recover traction within 2 seconds if I wasn't hooning it. My main reason for wanting something like the Defender 2 series is thr mpg hit my forester took. I went from about 34 - 35 mpg down to barely able to sustain 30mpg and easily sitting between 28-29 mpg now.
I had them, then had them removed. They are far from efficient, nor quiet. The stopping distance on packed snow was awful. Lateral snow grip was bad. Only thing they excelled at was deep water
