Go with the 215 and save some money. You’ll have plenty of grip and be fine. I ran that size Blizzaks on my past WRXs.
When it comes to brands, best ones are Bridgestone, but remain the costliest along with Michelin. MRF, CEAT and Apollo offer similar cost and have average lifecycle and performance.
My AWD Sienna hybrid is great in the Chicago snow on the stock Bridgestone tires. I love it.
I got some cheaper wheels from tire rack that are “winter rated” 18x8.5 +35 squared setup and Blizzaks. It will be worth the investment.
I noticed the wiper issue on mine in February when I first got the truck. It's pretty annoying. You can get around it like others mentioned but I've heard some users report they've chipped the hood paint doing it so I don't' bother.
I'm also in NS by the way as I see you mentioned that in the comments. Those the stock tires you still running? I ordered steelies and Bridgestone Blizzaks for mine a few weeks ago. Just under $1,400 which isn't cheap but they are great tires in the snow and ice. Handled the snow like a champ today. I also have the same vent shades. They are amazing.
Bridgestone last absolutely ages and are brilliant in the wet, it’s what I have on my merc
I just got some Bridgestone DESTINATION LE3. They’re holding up really well so far, a lot better than my stock tires.
I went through a set of Blizzaks in a year. I drove like 20k miles and didn’t change them in the summer.
Those tires wear out fast. I lost 2mm of tread on all tires in 3800km. Window sticker says they only last 20000miles.
Got a 2025 Camry SE Hybrid with 15k miles on it. I keep my tires at 35 PSI all around and rotate them every 5k miles like clockwork. Dealership just told me my front tires are down to 3/32”, while the rears are still fine. They’re the stock Bridgestone Turanza EL440s that came with the car. I feel like that’s way too soon for them to be this worn I thought they were supposed to last close to 50k miles?
