Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.

Pros: better than previous Subaru

Cons: horrible mileage for others

Vehicle: Subaru

Mileage: 3540 km

I have a Subaru with new snow-rated tires. That doesn't mean it's true for every other driver on the road.

Pros: new snow-rated tires

Vehicle: Subaru

Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.

Pros: tires are fine

Cons: dust pools in door wells

Vehicle: Subaru

My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks

Pros: shockingly well in snow

Cons: not for blizzard

Vehicle: Subaru Legacy

I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.

Pros: unaffected by snow

Cons: summer tires pointless

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza

I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.

Pros: good longevity

Cons: needs re-balancing

I can say their cheap "Dextero" tires are a reasonably solid chineseum tire. I think they're badged as 40-45k tires but really they're usually closer to 25-30k.

Pros: reasonably solid

Cons: wear out faster than advertised

The fucking console rattles like a mother fucker. The stock tires are pieces of shit. The clutch pedal will make noise when it is cold because they used shitty spot welds on the pedal assembly. The ac compressor will probably fail within 50k miles.

Cons: console rattles, stock tires shit
