From experience with Gislaved on a WRX, Blizzak WS90 on another car, Blizzak DMV2 on a large diesel SUV, and Viking Contact 7s on a “regular SUV” and a parent’s older car, my personal favourite are the continental VC7s for all around winter.
I ride similar conditions. Went from a MaxGrip DHF to a Kryptotal. Really happy with the Conti’s
In my experience, which has been all heavier “horsepower” cars in the 3400-3800lb range, the best all seasons were Continental Extreme Contact DWS06. No chunking, but they do feather at the edges.
I've got Continental Viking Contact 7's on my AWD M3 and they're also fantastic.
I currently have Continental CrossContact XL 20 in. tires on my 2020 Buick Enclave. These are OEM tires that I was skeptical of since I usually prefer Michelin tires. These Continental tires are rated at 60K miles but currently have 63,000 miles on them and don't need to be replaced yet. They are quiet and grip well.
I replaced the factory Hankooks with BF Goodrich Trail Terrain T/A when it was time on my 2018 Pro 4X. They are good all around and not too expensive.
I haven't tried the Vittoria N.EXT, but I've ridden the GP5000 tubeless since they released around 6 years ago. My wife has been on the inner tube version. Great tyre, amazing grip, even in the wet, and very fast. I've also never had a flat. The only thing is they don't last super long - I reckon about 3-5000 km depending on your weight.
Hankook Ventus S1 evo3. Will not feel bad about using them for autox or track. As I picked up the cars after snow hit the ground, I took delivery with Conti VikingContact 7, which are pretty quiet.
I had put 12k on mine before dry rot got them and replaced them with continental tires. Have been good over the 15k miles so far.
Hilarious because I did for the first time last year with the same tires that came on your areton that came on my golf sportwagen. Absolute horrendous piles of ****. They are worse than the worst set of linglongs. They shouldn't even be approved for road use. switched to a set of Michelin CC2 and they are better in absolutely every metric by 250%. They are better in the snow than the contis were on dry pavement.
