I live in New England and run Nokians for my winter tires on both my wife's and my cars. On hers, we run the WRG4 which is a super winter biased all season tire, really good cold-dry performance, 9/10 in the snow.
Pros: good cold-dry performance

I run some Nokian Hakkapollita R2's on some 17x7.5\" wheels for winter and all I can say is the 17's make you feel like you're riding on a cloud.
Pros: riding on a cloud
Well i went from 18s to 17s last winter... Originally i bought a set of Pirelli Sottozero3 225/40/18 on 18x7.5 wheels (might have been x8 i cant remember). The traction in cold was unreal and amazing, the price was not.
Pros: traction in cold amazing
Cons: price was not
Bought Michellin Pilot Sport 4s for my 06 2.3L (figured why not spend a bit more because you don't really buy tyres often)
I'm very happy with them so far.
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Mazda
Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.
Pros: huge improvement expected
Cons: stock tires garbage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I am running Blizzak WS80's. The Tiguan has a really good 4motion system in my opinion. Have driven this vehicle in some pretty harsh snow conditions in Upstate NY and Ontario. It has never let me down.
Pros: good 4motion system
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
But lately I've been going with the Nokian Hackapillita's for extra grip in the snow. The Nokians wear better in back road snow drifts.
Pros: extra grip in snow, wear better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Bridgestone RE-71R alllll day for me.
Another vote for the Generals. My CRV seems to ride like **** and handle like dog-**** with them on, but I love the abuse.
Pros: handles abuse well
Cons: poor ride, poor handling
Vehicle:
Honda
but the Xi2s were amazing.... and then very quickly wore from being great, to being really really poor. Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde over the course of about 3500kms....... they should have had another 1-2 full seasons on them but IMO they did not wear well after 2 seasons.
Pros: amazing when new
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 3500 km
