Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO

Tried xice and blizzak ws90 both brand new. I preferred blizzak it made me more confident to drive in snow than xice my car is fwd.

Blizzak ws90

the best Snow tires on the market are Blizzak they stick to anything. Although they only are good for 5000 miles on dry roads

Get snow tires. Bridgestone blizzak are amazing. All season tires are not.

If you end up deciding you want to get into it, first priority has to be brakes, followed by tires. Both will start to wear much faster and become a safety issue as you progress. For brakes, pads and fluids at minimum, and good to do discs too for most cars, and for tires, something that's dedicated (Hankook RS4, Kumho V730, Bridgestone RE71RS for example) and not just a good street summer tire like a PS4S

My wife's Prius is awesome in the snow. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires. Glad to hear you are going that route, just be aware there are different models of blizzak tires.

The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.

I’ve used Bridgestone blizzaks, Michelin x-ice, Michelin cross climate 2s, and Continental VikingContact 7s.

Personally I liked the VikingContact 7s the best; I felt like they had the most traction and gave the best feeling of confidence. The Blizzaks felt very soft, degraded fast, and had poorer performance in the warmer conditions

I have had COUNTLESS Bridgestone OE tires come from many brands worn out in 20k or usually less. The aftermarket replacements are also junk from Badstone

the stock Turanzas (summer) are so crappy that the soft winter tires feel a lot more controlled and don’t steer by themselves like the Turanzas do.
