Tires DUNLOP or GENERAL TIRE
I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!
I second the suggestion of General Grabbers, I replaced mine after 12 years with life still in them.
I have General Grabber tires on my 2016, and they are great. Low noise, good on the street even on wet roads. They are also very, very good off road.
My 2016 came with Dunlop Sport Maxx RT summer tires, I knew from 8 years with my 2002 WRX that I was immediately going to have to pickup a second set.
Then I got Dunlop summer tires and they are fantastic in the summer.
Altimax Arctic 12s on steelies has been my winter outfit for the last decade. Handles Kansan winters just fine, as well as my hilly driveway. Drove through Loveland Pass during a blizzard, no problems.
Corolla 49 k on dunlop got ok tread life still, did drive carefully
I had Dunlops on my ML and found they wore quickly. I went back to Continental ContiTrac.
To add to other comments, I had a Dunlop catastrophically fail going 90 mph, it was my rear wheel and it was a wild ride for 10 secs, I came out fine but my bike took quite a beating
Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
