I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.
Owner reviews for tires
The OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires sound borderline dangerous in the rain. I'm in SoCal; the previous owner had already swapped to Michelin Defender 2s lol. The Defenders though, they got grip for days.
I’m running the alpin 5 and the ground connection was strong.
MSW type 52 & nokian R5s . The gloss black looks just like the OEM darks, and are quite affordable. R5s review very well as a winter tire
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.
Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
my only all seasons ever were Yokohama Geolandar G015. They were ok for about two years, but then the compound began to harden and I had to switch. They were decent on snow and water, but sucked on ice.
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
These came stock on my Tacoma TRD Off Road Hybrid. AT3/Wa, 18” wheels. They have only 2 ply sidewalls and are trash. A 1/8” stick punctured the sidewall yesterday. Don’t take them off road.
