The one proviso, buy good tires. I have All-Weather Nokians on my Forester, world of difference.
It runs Nokian Encompass AW01s which are a 3MP snowflake rated all weather tire and it's been really good in increasingly mild Wisconsin winters since 2022.
When it's time to replace the tires on my Mazda CX-5 I will put 3 Peak tires on it, but I intend to drive on the factory Toyo A36 tires until they are worn down and need replacing.
If you don\u2019t want to switch out and have 2 sets of wheels I\u2019d go with Nokian remedy wrg5
Throw some Nokian Hakka's on it and let it rock.
I just put new Nokian Hakkapeliitta studs on mine. Handles like a dream. So happy I plonked down the money.
Not sure if they exist for your size but I am using Nokian Outposts E-rated and absolutely love them. Good performance in all conditions, including rain and snow, no tire noise even above 80 mph and good off-road performance.
I was going for something more aggressive and got the Toyo AT3 EV tires that get so much attention in this sub. They’re louder than the Michelins but not howlers like a lot of aggressive treads. Efficiency may have dropped by 0.1 mi/kWh. I’ve driven 2k miles on them so they’re pretty well settled in. I haven’t had any winter conditions to test them on yet but they’re triple-peak rated.
Typical Nokian lol. They are garbage and most of them end up like this. The small cracks aren't too bad but the big one that goes around the side is concerning
I am currently running the Toyo AT3’s, only complaint I have is they kinda suck in the rain and need rebalancing every 5k miles
