Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE
Liked the Blizzaks years ago in unplowed snow, but around here the issue is more slush and ice so partial to various offerings from Continental with more sipes and less aggressive tread pattern.
Yokohama ice guard on my WRX. Does well in slush. Real good in deep snow. Wet roads very good. Dry pavement and temps above 45F, not so great.
Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.
PS: Dont go for Falken again. I replaced mine with Yokohoma Advans and they are pretty good.
I have never been letdown by my RE-71R's! On my second set and never going back to Pilot Sports again.
On our V90 Cross Country, we grabbed a set of 18-Inch - 5-Double Spoke Alloy Wheel - Silver (Part # 31428595), put some Bridgestone Blizzack DM-V2's (235/55R18) on them. Car is rock solid in the snow.
When I was buying my tires, I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice. I ended up getting the blizzaks and they're really awesome, so quiet and extremely effective. I wasn't just looking for a snow tire, but also one that performed well on slush (because Toronto ????). You'd be good on either of these tires.
I have run both blizzaks and ice I have found the Ice last longer and seem to run quieter they are worth the cost
I just had my original ecopia 422 205/55/16's swapped out with a set of Nokian Solstice all weather tires in the same size. All seasons don't do well in the wet and slushy snow we get here in south coast of B.C.
Mine came with the bridge stones. They are a little noisier than I would like and they certainly don't offer the traction I want.
