Tires OEM Mazda or YOKOHAMA

Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.

Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains

Have a 2022 Outback and the oem Yokohama tires were junk after 37k. Went with Yokohama avid ascend. Grips great in pouring rain, very quiet even with a window partially open and no noise interference on Bluetooth.

I have always found Yokohamas to be good. I find the A drive to be good grip, very durable and reasonably priced.

I've put Yokohama G015 all-terrains on Subaru AWD wagon for similar duties before.

The Advan A052 is the tire that most of the high power RS3/TTRS straight line dudes are moving to, that is fine on regular, dry roads but offers a better 60' than PS4S.

I loved the yoko ao52, im currently running the toyo rr (less grip but longer life).

I purchased four Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ tires for my Mazda 6 this past February and have found the ride quality and noise mitigation to be a noticable upgrade over the OEM Dunlap tires.

My all-season tires however, and worn for the path. They are still drivable, but I will definitely be replacing tires before winter.

I found them to be pretty garbage for traction even on dry pavement, but they were quiet and smooth and lasted very well.
