I have had good success with Continental Race Kings. They are not specifically hardened/flat proof, but the knobs keep the tire away from thorns and glas shards.
Get a good pair of Continental Extreme Contacts.
Look at maybe Nexen or General for a cheaper alternative that is more reliable.
If you want a solid, inexpensive replacement that won’t break the bank, the General Altimax RT45 is a great all-season option and runs about $131 each at Discounted Wheel Warehouse, which is a nice step up in safety without spending Michelin money.
I bought continental sw06 extreme contact. I like them.pair on wife's tdi and the mk7.5 gti.not Michelin but they work all yr round.
Dws06 here. The rain grip is wow. The snow grip is snow tire like for me in Western NY where I need it. Dry grip is fine. Best all season tires I think I've ever had.
I got extreme contact dws06 on mine. I love them. Great grip in wet and dry conditions for 30% less than the Michelins. Super quiet too
I’ve found general altimax arctics to be a good solution when blizzaks are too much money. Plus these are studdable , if you live in a place where that is allowed. I’ve been running them on my cars for the last 20 years with no issues.
I went with Continental UltimateContact Winter. Not too far off X-Ice although a little less good on ice but instead better in wet and dry.
I put a driveway stone through a continental tire. Never again. They have lost something. Used to be a good tire. Not any more.
