I have Indy 500s on my ND banger tire for the price AND you can drive them in the rain.
While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.
The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.
I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.
Put these on my Tundra recently. Tire looks great but def a bit noisier than the Firestones.
Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.
I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
