Tires Continental or TIGAR
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
Continental DWS 06+. They are an awesome all season tire.
I run continental viking contacts on my NA because it was tough to find many options in the 15\" size. No complaints from me though I don't really drive it too much in the winter cuz the roads get salted around here so I only do it when it's warm enough that day that I can wash the underside off without the water freezing.
I use the Conti DWS06+ on my WRX. If you're going with an all season, that's my top recommendation.
I switched to a higher grade continental all season and they are stellar.
I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.
I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.
I have a set of wheels with Continental DWS 06+ on them. They do reasonably well even in snow.
Worse stock tire -> we've got Continental EcoContact 6.
