Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia
I have only used the Nokian's on that list.
I love the BFG Comp2 A/S Plus. Amazing in the rain and good in snow for a non winter tire, strong sidewalls without feeling uncomfortable, and tons of grip in the dry. As an only tire its been my favorite
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.
Highly recommend Nokian all weather tires.
Honestly the Nokian WRG4 is a fantastic all weather tire. I feel like you either put the tire through some rough terrain that it's not meant for. Or you legitimately got a bad batch of tires.
I like Hankook, General, and BFGoodrich.
Go with Nokian Hakks.
I run studded Hakks on two of my cars, best winter tires I've ever had.
Not sure what's going on with all the guys saying KO2s wear out quickly, I can only speak to my experience with then. Mine have 20,000 miles on them and still look pretty new, obviously I need to measure tread depth to verify how much they have worn but they aren't anywhere close to be worn out. Overall I'm very pleased with them, they are quiet on the highway, handle well on the road and give me great traction in rain, ice and mud.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
Those tires are very low quality. Rubber is not soft and flexible enough to create proper friction.
