Tires Nokia or Maxxis
I put some Nokian WR G4s on my wife's 2017 Outback when we had that. It was a beast in the snow and I am a Nokian lifer now.
Maxxis creepy crawler in 20x2.00 it has a low ass pressure ceilin but it has grip for days
I’m putting Nokian Entyre 2’s on as soon as I need them. I’ve run them on 3 other vehicles and they are fantastic.
Maxxis Grifters. I’m 18 months in on them as a 1-2 time a week rider. No visible wear or pinch flats despite running low psi. They last forever and are grippy af.
I had WRG4s on a previous vehicle in Ontario. They are great shoulder season tires, and are manageable in the winter.
Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.
Nokian is better on Snow and ice, less tread life
Michelin is better on wet and dry, but still decent in snow, better tread life
Have a look at the Bridgestone Weatherpeak as well, better tread life and easily comparable to the Nokian in snow and ice.
The Nokian Nordman are great aswell, would argue they are bit better than new Hakkas when there is wet snow on the road (ice and compacted snow, both great).
You can take a bigger hit in tires alone. For instance, on my stock ContiProContacts, I average 27 mpg with 235/50r18 tires. Same size but with Nokian Z-line A/S, a tire that grips the road much better wet and dry, I'm lucky to hit 25 mpg, usually more like 22 mpg.
I’m getting Nokians. Brand new they were okay in the snow. Not good but okay. After 13k miles and a rotate the first snow was really sketchy.
