I've got Blizzaks on my 19 here in Southwestern Ontario. They've been great so far! We are getting hammered this winter too!
If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x
If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.
Bridgestone ecopia 300 is really quiet compared to my stock maxiss tires
I strongly recommend proper winter tires. At a minimum, at least get winter rated all weather tires. We had a lot of slushy bullshit build up today. The only reason I was able to get out of my neighborhood & make it to a Dr's appointment was because I run Blizzaks on my ND1.
Hankook feels very soft, but good, I prefer the SF3 for the feel and equally good is the Conti.
I have the same problem. I have the Hankook Ventus V2's and they're fine when its dry but I'll be spinning tires whenever it rains. I got to be extra careful whenever its wet out.
I am driving Mercedes S Class with Hankook Winter Icept Evo 3 that are now in third season with total around 30.000 Km driven.
As soon as I pass 90 Km/h seat starts to shake and I have tapping sound somewhere beneath the car. It least until 130 Km/h and then it is normal on higher speeds again.
Cheap tyres will do that. A friend of mine had some cheap Chinese tyres on her Jazz and it was downright dangerous in the wet. Problem solved when she put some decent Bridgestone tyres on it.
There was a stopping test years ago of a Hankook snow tire with and without studs- the non-studded actually stopped shorter on ice than the studded. Same winter tire. Moving forward isn't worth a damn if you can't stop and total yours and someone else's car.
