I understand its all about the snow tires. I have seen a video where they test CUVs Jeep,Mazda,Suburu, Honda CRV and they show how great the Mazda grips the snow going up hill with the stock tires. I was curious what others felt using stock tires.

 

After a disasterous 20,000 miles on my OEM tires I opted for these and love them. https://www.toyotires.com/tire/patte...ditions-tire-0

 

I put a set of Goodyear Assurance on mine after having good luck with them on my old Outback. They are quiet, wear well and seem to do pretty well in the snow.

 

The Toyo Celsius even have the snowflake symbol on I am have tested them here in the east coast. All I can say is love them love them love them....LOL
