Nitto Motivo 365 are a fair bit less than the CC2 and are an excellent all weather tire. I've had them on my Forester for a year now. On the Legacy, I used to swap between dedicated summer and winter tires, but the Nittos have been excellent, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having snow tires.
Blizzak ws90
the best Snow tires on the market are Blizzak they stick to anything. Although they only are good for 5000 miles on dry roads
Get snow tires. Bridgestone blizzak are amazing. All season tires are not.
If you end up deciding you want to get into it, first priority has to be brakes, followed by tires. Both will start to wear much faster and become a safety issue as you progress. For brakes, pads and fluids at minimum, and good to do discs too for most cars, and for tires, something that's dedicated (Hankook RS4, Kumho V730, Bridgestone RE71RS for example) and not just a good street summer tire like a PS4S
My wife's Prius is awesome in the snow. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires. Glad to hear you are going that route, just be aware there are different models of blizzak tires.
I always ran Nitto NT555 gen 1 and gen 2 on my LS430. Pretty light stretch, especially the gen 2’s as they run wider. Been running these sizes and wheels for 12 years.
I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.
Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions
Ran Grapplers on my F150 and they are loud AF. They’re not nearly as good on wet pavement, snow, ice as Wildpeaks.
I have had COUNTLESS Bridgestone OE tires come from many brands worn out in 20k or usually less. The aftermarket replacements are also junk from Badstone
