Tires OEM Mazda or OEM BMW

I miss my shitty NB for the winter. It had a lsd and decent snow tires. Other than super deep snow, that setup was perfect.

Seriously though, if you can't get snow tires, put some weight in the truck. Weight in truck+snow tires makes the Miata a surprisingly nimble snowmobile.

Ive got a cx50, live in Tahoe where it snows plenty, and with all weather tires, this thing is a beast.

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.

I commuted 100 miles a day in my CX5 in snowy Maine. I had a 6speed manual transmission and snow tires and never had a problem.

And one tire due to a bulge. The tire was not cheap ($500) but I let the dealership deal with it rather than getting it done cheaper elsewhere as I didn't want to drive on a massive bulge.

OEM tires wear a little faster than I'd like. I'm looking at having to get some new ones soon.

Im 6000 miles in on my i4 m50 and the tires are about to be replaced. Its a super powerful and super heavy car and it will eat up tires like nothing.

I club race an NA Miata and I'm $40k in before you count recurring costs like tires, fuel, entry fees, etc. Its an expensive sport!

As others mentioned, run-flats are more suspectable to sidewall damage. They're also heavier and noisier. Also, you may have a wider selection of tires if you go with non-runflat.
