Tires Falken or Sailun
I went from Falkens to Toyos in 315/70r17 and the Falkens were 2” larger in diameter.
I have Akklimates on my Hyundai Kona. They rate pretty good in everything and have held up well in snow and wet conditions, but I specifically bought them because I don't drive that car much and they are more of a value 3PMSF tire.
Falken Ziex 960s are what I ran in big bear for years. Rain snow shine. If I needed cables I should've driven a different car. It was a hoon in the snow lol.
Did a short test drive today. No rubbing or other issues with normal/slightly spicy driving. Went lock to lock in a parking lot, no issues.
Bought AT4s a year ago. I have great traction on wet, dry and snowy roads here in New Hampshire. Would definitely recommend and buy again.
Im from the same area and I got wildpeaks at4s 265/75r16 at 1010tires for $246. Love the wildpeaks so far, only downside is the gas mileage from stock tires went from 12.3l/100kms to 13.8l/100kms.
I'm currently running Falken Azenis on my '07 STi. They were $150/tire and there was an $80 instant rebate for buying a set of 4. So, $130/tire after rebate.
I wouldn't get anything lower quality than the Sailun, especially for winter. I think Sailun and Nitto have okay options for all weather, but if you can spend a bit more for better brands (premium or the ones mentioned by other commenters) it's probably worth it up to a certain point.
Oh, and that brand is trash. I run trash tires too but its not the best.
KO3\u2019s suck these days. Go with the Falken Wildpeak AT4\u2019s or the Toyo Open Country AT3 is better in the snow from what I\u2019ve experienced.
