Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

I swap wheels/tires twice a year running summers on the stock wheels and winter Michelin snow/ice on 17 basic black wheels. Car handles snow in New England like a dream.

Alpin 5s are awesome. Never an issue in as much as 4-6" of snow.

If you have issues with your current tires, consider getting a all weather tire like CrossClimate 2s.

the Ariya the best upgrade over the mediocre factory tires is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 (EV-friendly sizes) they handle the weight and torque way better, ride quieter, and you’ll notice way less range drop compared to cheaper options.

I ran Alpin 4s and 5s on my F80. Upstate NY, drove through some pretty sketchy road conditions completely fine

I used Michelins X-Ice snow tires on my F80. Highly recommended.

Only have experience with the Michelins but i will say they had great performance throughout the life of the tire

If you’re wanting long distance. I have the Yokohama YK-GTX and they’re awesome. If you’re driving short distance but want sporty. The Bridgestone RE980AS+ are freaking awesome, and if you’re like me and base things off of looks too, they’re gorgeous.

lol, yes. my car is fwd, i bought some brand new michelin ice x's for this winter and even though i'm having a slightly better time i still dread red lights, stop signs, yields, you name it. i do all the tips and tricks you can name as well.

I had the Yokohama with orange oil on my previous Crosstrek, and it slid in every turn no matter how slow I went.
