"Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 work great on my '18 XSE."

"Blizzak DM-V2"

"Look into the blizzak dmv2. They are solid for deep snow and will be far better than an all terrain if there is any ice that catches you off guard."

"Get Blizzaks. You wont regret it."

"Blizzaks or the Nitto equivalent"

"Hard to say "the best" but you cant go wrong with a Blizzak."

"I used to use Blizzaks on my subarus and they were excellent snow tires"

"Blizzak is my go to tires for winter. I live in a hilly area and drive my mustang in the snow. I have DM-V2 and do quite well in the snow."

"I run Bridgestone Blizzaks in Calgary, Alberta on my SXT rwd."

"Buy snow tires!! Blizzacks to be specific!!"

"Ive ran these same X-ice on my type r and on my previous 2019 sport, I live on an insane incline and these tires have made a huge difference! They’re amazing and if you can get them at a good deal, they’re a great set!"

"I will exclusively be buying crossclimate2s for my Camry. After I got them installed, we got hammered with a foot of snow. No slips, tcr did not activate, and I had no trouble climbing mountains. They are insanely quiet tires too. Absolutely worth the price."

"Look into Michelin Crosslimate 2's. They're true all weather tires with the 3 peak rating."

"I have Michelin X-ice snow that I got for a pretty good deal at Costco last year."

"I have Michelin Cross Climate 2 and have loved them on my 23 Outback."

"The crossclimate 2 is not only great in snow but very long lasting according to consumer reports testing."

"Take a look at the Michelin cross climate 2. They do much better than the contis you mention in the snow."

"Michelin CrossClimate2 are honestly fantastic and worth every cent imo. Great grippy compound that somehow lasts seemingly forever though they are on the higher end of the price scale."

"Running Michelin X-ice Snows and they’ve been phenomenal."

"I have Michelin X Ice on my Scat Pack."

Nokian

(58)

"The Nokian is usually the cheapest of those options and should be the best in the snow, so that would be my choice."

"I’m in eastern Washington/northern Idaho area and run Nokian Hakkapeliita snow tires. Only city and highway driving on them but they’re handling great."

"If you’re going to be changing tires seasonally, get some real winter tires. I run Nokian R5 on my Ioniq 5."

"We have the Hakkapeliitta wgr4's and really like them on our 2022 Outback."

"I have had Nokian Outpost APTs and they were fantastic in wet or slushy conditions and pretty great in deep snow."

"I had the Nokian WGR4s on my Legacy in Alaska and loved them."

"You won't regret buying them. KO2s are almost always the way to go."

"KO2s are damn near unstoppable in snow"

"I’m a big fan of the BFG KO3 myself"

"KO3's blew my old Nittos Ridge Grapplers out of their pants."

"Bf Goodrich ko2. I've been running for years"

"KO2s for the ice and snow. So solid."

"Ko2’s were amazing, i got 62000 out of them and upgraded to the ko3’s the wet traction is way better, and still quiet as hell, they are a dream off road as well very little driving on snow but did handle better than my ko2’s"
