I like the X-Ice snow more than Blizzaks because they drive more confidently on pavement and they're much quieter.
Pros: confident on pavement, quieter

I got the Michelin X-ice Snow here in the Colorado Rockies. They work great.
Pros: work great
Vehicle:

Sotto zeros for my A6. Great control and initial bite, fairly priced for 19" sizing.
Pros: great control, initial bite
Cons: fairly priced
Vehicle:
Audi A6
Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.
Pros: worked well
Cons: wear fast
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains
Pros: wonderful performance
Vehicle:
Audi A1
I run the X-Ice on my Allroad. Nice tire, but I don’t drive them hard on dry pavement for obvious reasons.
Pros: nice tire
Cons: not for dry pavement
Vehicle:
Audi A4 allroad
I just picked up a set of Continental Viking contacts. Previously I had Michellin X-Ice and they were solid.
Pros: solid performance
Vehicle:
Audi A3
I'm usually able to get 4 BF Goodrich tires for a Toyota at Costco for about $400 installed. I keep an eye on sales and deals and when it's time I make my move. Been doing this for about 15 years and always able to find them in that range. Also come with included tire rotation and roadside service.
Pros: included tire rotation
Vehicle:
Toyota
Just picked up a 2021 Tiguan SE, of course equipped with Giti\u2019s. So far in 15 miles of driving, they have a little road noise compared to my Bridgestones currently on my Alltrack
Pros: little road noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 15 km
Not the same vehicle, but, on my truck (2wd, V8, manual), I installed Winterforce 2 tires, and while I haven't driven in any snow with them yet, on wet or dry pavement, they are horrible. Not much traction at all, even if I try to drive "carefully."
Cons: horrible on wet/dry pavement, not much traction
