Tires OEM Mazda or BRIDGESTONE

Bridgestone Blizzaks have served our Outback well.

Highly recommend Blizzak WS90's

I got a Mazda 2 with good winter tires , I'm in Calgary. It costs me almost nothing on gas, and I finish the week with way more money in my pocket. in my 40 years of life I've learned a FWD car with decent rubber will handle winter good as any suv.

If you are a Costco member find the tires you want through them and then contact Discount Tire via chat and they will price match the Costco out the door price. I bought a set of Bridgestone tires for my F250 and it saved me a couple of hundred dollars.

I got Blizzaks last winter and they’ve been amazing. Last year I drove across MI (5 hours) in a severe snowstorm warning (1ft+ snow) and a snow squall warning. I must have passed close to 100 cars/trucks in ditches. I never felt unsafe traction wise, I was planted. My Dad also had them on his old Charger 392 years ago and we took it ice fishing. Since then i’ve loved Blizzaks.

so far they’re quiet, grippy under wet conditions & slightly better in handling & ride than the Dunlop Grandtrek that came with them. Haven’t driven them in snow yet…

Honestly, for that run rate, any good tire brand works. Bridgestone, MRF, Ceat.

I ran m 42 psi on a recent track day and had some mild sidewall running.

Other than the lack of traction on wet or icy pavement and the incredibly fast wear on the front tires, I cannot complain about getting worse fuel economy or road noise.
