I've used Blizzaks on my OBXT for years and swear by them. Got them for my tundra too. Pretty incredible what a good tire will allow you to do.
For the past 3 winters I ran Michelin Xice, this year I went with Blizzak WS80s and man, they are on another level entirely.
same fxt same blizzaks - cant complain after 5 years of snowmobile like winter performance.
I've got Blizzaks on my WRX and I absolutely love them.
Liked the Blizzaks years ago in unplowed snow, but around here the issue is more slush and ice so partial to various offerings from Continental with more sipes and less aggressive tread pattern.
Blizzaks on my wrx, amazing in the snow and ice, and handle cold like a champ.
I have never been letdown by my RE-71R's! On my second set and never going back to Pilot Sports again.
As for my Arteon I bought these 6 months ago and I absolutely love them. They're made in Norway and are all season but they're also severe snow rated and I can confirm they perform way better than most all seasons in the snow. Super quiet grand touring tire.
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
