Blizzaks and X-Ice are great tires but rather expensive, there are some great cheaper alternatives (General Tire Altimax Arctic)
I highly recommend General Altimax Arctic.
I ordered some General Grabber Arctic XL. They are studdable tires, so may not fit your needs. Mainly got them because I used to run General Altimax Arctic on my sportwagon and they've been great. If they perform similar to the Altimax they are pretty good on the pavement, and great in all bad weather conditions and last a long time.
The General Altimax Arctic is a previous gen Nokian design, and very good for the price.
Can go wrong with Nokians, in my opinion. I've had several sets on Saabs, my JSW, Touareg, and currently run studded Hakkepellitas on the wife's fwd GSW 5 speed. I ran General artic studdless on my GSW 4 motion 6 speed last winter and was pleased with the performance of those as well.
Agree on this but don't forget that General is owned by Continental so a lot of the same technology goes into their tires
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.
I liked the handling but the OEM tires were trash (as they often are). Luckily I ran over some road debris that caused to get a new set of tires anyway. Once that was sorted out it is pretty entertaining.
