Two good tires are Bridgestone Blizzaks and Continental Vikings.
It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.
Generally, the best winter tires will be Bridgestone Blizzak.
I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.
But if you can afford them, real winter tires like Bridgestone Blizzaks are a huge upgrade. Not just in snow, but on dry cold days where even good All Seasons are losing a lot of traction.
My one experience with Bridgestone was excellent on a Ford Expedition. Got 65k out of them an excellent traction.
I have Bridgestone Potenza RE71R's on my Z and the grip is phenominal. Its a summer tire though and they can be slippery in low temps so take that into consideration
The Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).
Just before the weekend one of my summer tires punctured. Replaced all four wheels with winter tires, but a closer look at these *two year old tires* has me wondering: How come these Bridgestones are already so worn down?
I had some Nitto 305 width’s on mine briefly after buying some secondhand rims that had them equipped, and it looked great but the ride was horrible and noisy.
