I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.
Pros: driving an absolute dream
Cons: expensive

I normally use Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Golf and while they still have more than enough legal tread, I don't believe they're optimum for hardpacked snow. Unfortunately, there's a waitlist for new Nokians, so I'm going with Continental Wintercontacts, which have a sterling rating.
Pros: sterling rating
Cons: waitlist for new Nokians

Michelin X Ice Snow for winter tires on my VW. Improved grip and stopping distance below 7C compared to all weather tires, even when there is no snow or ice.
Pros: improved grip, stopping distance

I was very surprised with the tyres -- soft ride, good handling, and good wet grip. I would say the performance was the same as that of BF Goodrich which I bought 12 years prior, at half price. This confirms the reviews that the Chinese tyres, and in particular the Sailun ones, have improved in the past years (almost) to the western standards.
Pros: soft ride, good handling
Mileage: 500 km
I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.

Got a set last summer on my Scion im 17 inch rims. When they are new they do have some noise but after 100 miles or so they quiet down. They have really good traction but they aren't performance tires. They will grip the road nicely but if pushed to far they will squeal. I will say they have a great wet road performance and actually feel like they are connected to the road. Not A/T tires but they break really well in the rain and even did really well on a loose gravel road.
Pros: great wet road performance
Cons: some noise when new
Mileage: 161 km
I have the Hankook Kynergy GT's on mine. They have been fine on dry roads even when pushing it in the corners. On wet roads, as others have said, not so much. I just take it easy when it's wet.
Pros: fine on dry roads
Cons: not so much on wet roads

Hate to be a neighsayer, but I've haven't been really impressed with the Nokian Hakkas. For all the praise they get on the forums, I was pretty disappointed with how they performed. I live in Central NY so we get tons of snow, so I got to test them out in a variety of conditions and they never really seemed to have traction. I had a set of 195 wide studless tires on my Golf. Upgraded to a GTI and the previous owner threw in a set of 225 studded Hakkas with the car. So I've tried these studded and studless, and have tried narrow and wide tires. I'm looking to try some Blizzaks this year if I can get my hands on them. A family member had them on their FWD Audi and the traction on them seemed really impressive; we were driving on a road that was completely covered in snow and he was swerving left and right and the car rode like it was on rails.
Cons: not impressed, disappointed with performance, never seemed to have traction
