I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.
Pros: perfect setup
Cons: super deep snow
Vehicle:
Mazda
Seriously though, if you can't get snow tires, put some weight in the truck. Weight in truck+snow tires makes the Miata a surprisingly nimble snowmobile.
Pros: nimble snowmobile
Vehicle:
Mazda
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
Pros: this thing is a beast
Vehicle:
Mazda
I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.
Pros: good rubber, handles winter
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
1200 USD on 4 tires, 2 rear wheel bearings, 2 tie rod ends, and an alignment.

The tire size on the vehicle is not common and I’m seeing prices of $300+ per tire, more expensive than my F-150.
Cons: expensive tire prices
Vehicle:
Mazda
As others have said, bulging is a sign that the internal structure of the tyre has failed. As frustrating as this is, it's new tyre time.
Cons: internal structure failed
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
