Tires BRIDGESTONE or GT Radial

My Cross Sport was ok in the snow but is now great since I put a set of Blizzaks on it. After getting stuck once with stock tires, I got the snow tires and haven’t looked back.

For what it’s worth, I have the Bridgestone Alenza RFTs and competitively think they are quite nice vs Conti and Michelin tires I have had on previous vehicles.

First snowfall here in Toronto, ON on new years eve and they did not disappoint. +1 on the break in, as the tires began to come in on their own with the added kms. Also, nvh is simply superb, these are the quitest tires I have ever driven

When those tires died, I bought them a set of BLIZZAK winter tires and they're SO MUCH better!!! They aren't quite as smooth and quiet on dry, but there's tons more traction in even deep snow.

But to be honest, the best snow tires are Bridgestone Blizzaks. Hands down the best I have ever had.

Blizzacks are nice on icy roads.

Believe it or not but narrower tires are better for snow. I have Bridgestone blizzaks since studs are illegal here. Honestly it’s like the snow isn’t even on the ground

Picked up the weatherpeaks for use in Toronto 2 months back on my CX-5. It's been miles better than than the stock Toyos (quiter, better road feel) and didnt notice a fuel economy hit at all.

I just bought these tires so I can't directly comment on them, but they were in my budget and the specs were about the best in the price range.

Pretty sure I had Ecopias on my new 18 Sportwagen. I think I got rid of them at 40k due to noise and cupping on the rears. I rotated them every 5k as well. Not impressed.
