I really like my 195/55R15 Achilles ATR Sports. They wear relatively quickly (within 30k-40k miles), but man they're great tires for the money. I've never had an issue with them in the rain either.

Get Hankooks or Firestones if you want to save a couple of bucks, while still having a great tire.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W. well regarded as an amazing road tyre but decently capable off road too, do some research on them, you can’t go wrong
last year I went with Continental VikingContact 7 on the new car. They are pretty good for studless
The first winter I had my current car, I went out and bought a set of generic steel rims and Nokian Hakkapeliitta's. Expensive but oh so worth it.
I ran the X-Ice 2s for a number of years and they were great.
I bought the Continental VikingContact 7 for my Rav4 back in 2019, and have been very happy with them. They were also cheaper than the Michelin or Nokian.
I also have the Nokian Hakks as mentioned by others.
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.
In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.
