Tires OEM Toyota or OEM Subaru

I have a 2022 Rav4 hybrid, and it is AWD. I live in Alberta near the mountains, and my hybrid handles the snow great. I also have snow tires on my vehicle. It is a 31 km drive from my house to work, down city streets and on a highway that may not be cleared, and I have had no issues since owning this vehicle. \n \nI have great gas mileage in the winter and summer months.

My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.

On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.

Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.

So glad I have snow tires. They make my Prius feel like a hummer.

I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.

Yea. Also. 17+. Has hill assist for getting rolling uphill which is a nice option.\n\nOtherwise. It’s good as long as you keep up on the maintenance.. I bought a 15’ with 120k miles and did all the major recent work when I got it and it’s a great car\n\nHandles well in the rain even on those stock tires n wheels. Good. OG 86 car…

It's a good little car. Fast enough to be fun but no so much to be too stupid. Well balanced. \n\nSpend a bit less money on the car, and buy a second set of wheels. \n\nYour best looking wheels out some good 200 tread wear summer tires on. Vitour P1 or Rival RS if you want them to last a while. \n\nLeast favorite wheels out Continental DWS-06+ all seasons (or proper four season tires if you're in a snowbelt state).\n\nThis is a car that responds well to grip.

The OEM tires on nearly every brand aren’t really good. This is the part where you shop around and find the tires for you. But you can find some really good ones for either amazing grip or maximum comfort.

The OEM tires are trash (I have the smaller ???? wheels for improved ride quality).
