Put new tires on the crosstrek (some Goodyear from Costco) and they are better but I think that's to be expected.
Pros: better than stock

Subaru

Think I'm going to get Michelin Cross-Climates in lieu of dedicated snows this year. Don't get much snow in NoVa, but I've always been happy to have winter tires both in the cold and for the few times it does snow. I've read an awful lot about the Michelins being almost as good as a dedicated winter tire in the snow, so I'll be interested to see how they behave -- they'll almost certainly be good enough for my needs.
Pros: good in cold, good in snow
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
I swear by Sumitomo Ice Edge tires. I've had three sets now on three different vehicles and other than a couple of nights when there was freezing rain, I've never had issues with them
Pros: no issues
I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️
Pros: looking forward to winter
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
the General Altimax Arctic is an older gen Gislaved NordFrost and a very good snow tire at a good price. I’ve had Hakkas, Blizzaks, Coopers, Firestones, Goodyears, and Hankooks winter tires, the Generals were the best for the price.
Pros: very good snow tire
Cons: older generation
I run Hakka r3. My wife runs General Winter Contact and they are about equal, very quiet good studless winter.
Pros: very quiet, good studless
i just got a set of continentals in june and i am in love. prior to this, i had dunlops (original set) and i think yokohama after that. i hated them both. slid in the rain all the time. came here for a recommendation and saw lots of praise for the contis. so glad i found them.
Pros: in love with contis
Cons: hated dunlops, yokohama
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
A friend of mine has those Yokohamas and is pleased with their performance. But he says they are exceptionally loud on certain types of pavement and quiet on others. Aside from the overall noise, he is pleased with them.
Pros: pleased with performance
Cons: exceptionally loud
Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
Pros: worst traction ever
Cons: bad traction
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Sonic
