Tires FEDERAL or GENERAL TIRE
Thats what I use and love em.
I've personally installed the RT43's on my own family members cars. They were great. Great in the snow, rain, and they are quiet. I don't think they're in the same class as a Michelin Premiere, but for the price they are great tires.
I ran three sets of those tires and never had any issues.
Those winter tires are on all of my cars and they are GREAT!
I started on Federal 595 SS, As I progressed as a driver I changed those out for the Federal RS-RR, Both great tires for cheap and id recommend for a Grassroots style of drifting or open drift days.
[Federal 595 RS-R](https://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/federal/235%252F40-17+federal+595+rs-r+racing+90w+bsw.html) 235/40/17 under $100 per tire. I loved this tire, grip so nice.
General Altimax Artic and Gislaved Nordfrost 100. Both are well rounded winter tires (dry cold, wet, ice, snow). They are from a reputable brand (Continental) and reasonably priced.
I've had nothing but General tires on my car for the last 8 years. With my Matrix XR AWD it was General Altimax HP when the OEM Goodyear Eagles were done. I went through two sets of the Generals and loved them. With the GLI, I had OEM Dunlop SP Sport that sucked. I replaced them with a set of General G Max AS-03's and again have loved their return for wear, performance, and noise. They handle just as good in the wet as they do the dry.
I bought a set of 17" wheels for my Impreza, and they came with General G-Max AS-03s on them. I've been very pleasantly surprised. I've used them for two summers, and they're fairly grippy and the ride seems fine for a 215/45ZR17, so no complaints about Generals from me.
Here is my setup i was running 195/40/16 federal on my 8J's but was rubbing Too.... so i put them on my 9J's and bought NSII 165/40/16 Here is what they look like
