Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for studless and Hakkapeliitta 10s for studded are hands down the best snow tires I've driven on and got to test them on 3 different vehicles. They let us test 4 of the leading competitors tires and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta out performed by far
Do you see that 6 and 4 stamped into the tread. Nokians are cool, they are telling you the tires have 60% tread or better.
I had Nokian WR-G2s. I had such great confidence in my Nokians on 18s. Only stuck once due to clearance but it was also a hill and just bad scenario but that was over 8 years.
Everyone has their own favorite brand. I've only ever driven Honda cars and over the years I've had General Altimax Arctic, Michelin X-ice, and Bridgestone Blizzak. Of those my favorite are the Blizzak, but the difference between the brands are not that big.
Nokians are awesome tires... Only winter I've liked more are my general Altimax tires, but have only put them through one season (albeit a hard winter).
Nokian snow tires are sweet!
Bridgestone Blizzaks have served our Outback well.
I had Supercats for a while and they were meh at best but did the job.
17 years ago (approx) got Nokian Hakkpellita P2s winter tires - only good for #1 season 6k miles I think - #2 the tires were notably poorer (no good)
I had Nokian Black as summer tires, very hard, quite uncomfortable.
