Nordman Solstice 4 would be my first choice from the list.

I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...
Pros: better than BT-021s
Cons: long warm-up time
I have BT023s on my old Triumph, on my second set now and my choice is extremely limited due to the rare tyre size it has! Never had any problems with them, rode through last winter on them and they were 100%.
Pros: no problems, rode through winter
I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
Pros: no oil consumption, decent wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 30000 km
I would consider Cooper a mid range tire. They’re not cheap but they’re not premium. I have a 2007 Tacoma and it’s got 300,000 miles on it so I’ve ran many sets of tires. Just recently put the Cooper Discover A3 on my truck and they are great in the snow.
Pros: great in snow
Cons: not premium
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 300000 km
The winter sw606 are actually really good winter tires. Somebody mentioned Florida so maybe that's where you are, but I'm in canada and I'm on my third set of westlake winter tires lol they're boss for snow.
Pros: boss for snow
One word from a senior Minnesotian
Bridgestone (Blizzacks) premium Winter Tire Possibly around the same price but superior in every way.
Pros: superior in every way
I also like General snow tires. I’ve personally used general 365aw on cars and minivans with no complaints.
Pros: no complaints
I find Kumhos Start going really hard as soon as the first few mm come off. Great for longevity but not great for ride and grip after first year.
Pros: great for longevity
Cons: not great ride and grip
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
Cons: not very grippy
