I'd highly recommend Cooper St Maxx. I've had Duratracs, KO2 and Wild peaks and the St Maxx were much better than those options.
Pros: much better option

Not on the list, but I've ran Falken Wildpeak AT during the winters here in Alaska and was very happy with them.
Pros: very happy
I never hear much about this tire in the Subaru world but one of my favorites for a long time has been the Continental ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus
It is more of a sporty all season tire but always rates high in all areas. I live in the northeast and drive up to ski resorts frequently with no issues. I believe the CC2 may be rated slightly better in snow but only by a narrow margin.
Pros: rates high in all areas
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Subaru
I'm about 7 months into CC2s on my 2021 Forester and I'm now a fan. It took some getting used to but the driving has been really comfortable. Really good grip in wet weather and I'm not really seeing much if any dip in MPG. On longer trips I'm still clocking 34-35 MPG. For the noise people mentioned, I don't notice much of a difference from the stock tires - Bridgestone Ecopias.
Pros: good grip in wet, comfortable driving
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have them on my Forester, like them a lot. I don't notice the noise too much, but the Forester is rather loud anyways. They seem to be wearing at a normal rate.
Pros: normal wear rate
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have the Bridgestone Weather Peaks and I love them. I drive mainly in Oklahoma and Texas and see a large variety of weather and terrain and have never had an issue at all. They are rock solid in the wet and do very well off-road as well. I didn't take a mileage hit like you see with the Falkens either. I average about 2,800 miles a month in my 21 premium and these have performed way beyond my expectations.
Pros: rock solid in wet, good off-road
Cons: none
I think the michelins have the slight edge in feel and edge grip, but the cost of them is just too high to justify at nearly double what Roadsmart 3's are selling for on sale, now that the Roadsmart 4's are out.
Pros: slight edge in feel
Cons: high cost
Mileage: 7500 km
replaced tires due to age, cracks with Continental ContiProContact - no more squeaks, nice grip
Pros: no more squeaks, nice grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 43452 km
They run a bit narrow but I haven’t measured
Pros: run a bit narrow
I use Dunlop Direzza DZ102. Good for normal street driving. Tend to slide when doing aggressive driving into corners or turns. I do not like them too much.
Pros: good for street driving
Cons: slide when cornering
