I have Winterforce UV2 tires for my SUV and they are great. Been through some crazy snow in them without issue.
Pros: great in snow

Another set of tires I would recommend that is almost never mentioned is Firestone Destination A/Ts. It has always been my go to truck tire. Although I haven't put them on my Tacoma yet, they did great on our '01 Sierra, '05 Ranger, and my uncle's '16 Silverado.
Pros: go to truck tire
Vehicle:
Toyota
I have Firestone Destination LE2s, and I haven't had much trouble driving in the snow with them. To be fair I haven't ever had snow tires, so I don't have much to compare to. If you have experience driving in the snow already, and drive slow you should be fine.
Pros: decent driving in snow
Cons: no snow tire comparison
I previously had the OEM, Pirelli Scorpion tires which I liked. The Firestone Destination LE3 tires seems to be equivalent to them..
Pros: equivalent to Pirelli Scorpion
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
So he did just that, pulled the steel wheel out, added liquid rubber and sealed the fuck outta that hole from the inside. $15 is all it costed me while Firestone would’ve convinced my stupid asss to drop $150 on a tire. I’m so pissed lol
Pros: fixed tire for $15
Cons: Firestone wanted $150
The newer style Firestone WinterForce 2 are decent tires. Good tread design, not too hard, not too soft compound. Fairly priced $100-150/ea depending.
Pros: good tread design, fairly priced
Cons: not too soft compound
On a other note, the Indy 500s are a great tire. 90% of the grip of the Pilot Sports for a fraction of the price.
Pros: great tire, good grip
Cons: 90% of Pilot Sports
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.
Pros: a lot of grip
Cons: soft sidewalls
The Firehawk Indy is a really good tire for performance but sucks for every day use. They get very noisy after a few heat cycles and they offer little to no wet grip. In fact once they're around 50% they're straight up ice skates in the rain.
Pros: good tire for performance
Cons: noisy, little wet grip
I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
Cons: cracking all over, bad handling
Mileage: 32186 km
