Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Toyota

We run Bridgestone Blizzak and they are amazing, the car is a beast in the snow with them on.

Blizzak is the king for studless snow traction, I think Michelin X-Ice is a little better on ice, Continental VikingContact is another great option for a little less $$$. I'm currently on Vredestein Wintrac+ (something like that) and they're fine.

I\u2019ve had the Bridgestone S23 and they lastet 3k miles. Best 3k miles I\u2019ve ridden but def not the best mileage.

After switching to Bridgestone Weatherpeak All-Weather tires i get 8.1 as the lowest. 29-30MPG.

Pirelli Rosso IV's or Bridgestone S23 are probably the best 2 sport focused tires on the market right now that arent sports touring like the Mich Road 6's. I have S23's on my MT09 (came stock, and have since been replaced with a new set)

Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.

I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.

Your best mileage will come from a low rolling resistance tire. I use Ecopias by Bridgestone. I had Weatherpeaks on before that and had noticeably worse fuel efficiency (8-10 mpg difference.)

Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.

My 22 came with Bridgestone ecopias. Worst snow performance ever.
