Continental CrossContact LX25 all day long. I've ran LTXs and those aforementioned GoodYear Comfort Drives and the Contis excel them in every aspect.
If you only drive in snow 2 or 3 times a year, I’d go with the continental cross contact, it’s a quiet, comfortable ride and all around great all season tire, also comes standard of some of the premium Toyotas like the Venza.
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 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.
I have DWS06+ on the Marauder and Michelin PS4's on the Kia. The Conti's are quiet and grippy, but I'm noticing they are cracking in between the tread, and they're not that old. I don't have enough seat time to judge the PS4's on my Kia, plus with them being the OEM tire, they may suck worse that regular, non OEM versions.
just FYI I tried the Conti DWS on my 2009 335i and couldn't keep them on the car. every time I hit a pothole the sidewall would crack and the worst part was despite the fact that I knew how it happened every time each road hazard claim was denied due to "improper installation".
