I've got Blizzaks on my 19 here in Southwestern Ontario. They've been great so far! We are getting hammered this winter too!
If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x
If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.
Your KO2s/KO3s are excellent tires, you don't need any other tires for a 3 mile drive. They are 3PMS tires and perform well on ice among AT tires.
Bridgestone ecopia 300 is really quiet compared to my stock maxiss tires
I strongly recommend proper winter tires. At a minimum, at least get winter rated all weather tires. We had a lot of slushy bullshit build up today. The only reason I was able to get out of my neighborhood & make it to a Dr's appointment was because I run Blizzaks on my ND1.
Replaced all four tires recently with Bridgestone terenza as I got a deal at Costco.
Tires are quiet and all that but my efficiency has dropped. With continental an average wh/mi was 210-240, same with Bridgestone is 270-300.
I like Blizzaks, been using them for over 15yrs. I tried the X-ice last year and am kind of disappointed in them for snow performance. They are great otherwise.
I have k02 on mine and i dont like them. They look great and in mud and dirt they are great but a little water ore snow and ice and they break free if i goose it just a hair.
I have the BFGoodrich ones and hate them. Burned through half the tread thickness in a couple hot summer months. But even with still plenty of tread, the mf's slip when it's damp out... 0/10
