Tires Hankook or Nokia
If cost is an issue, the more economical street tire you can get that has solid track performance is the Hankook RS4. They last forever and are a great tire to learn on.
I just recently switched to Nokian Wrg5 and so far I'm loving these on my 3.6 Outback. These seem to be a bit more winter focused.
We put Nokian Hakkas (I can’t spell the full name lol) on my wife’s Escape and they are the best mod we ever gave it. I swear by them now.
Proper all weather tires like the Nokian WRG4 are great in winter. I had them on my Lancer and highly recommend them!
I ride on Nokian outpost nat. I’ve been in everything you can think of weather wise. They are better than 3 season tires but there is no true replacement for a pure winter tire.
I have had all-weathers on 3 vehicles. A Nokian that I don't recall the model of, on my RAV4. Had the tires on for about 5 years before I sold it.
I've had a few sets of Nokian all weathers on different vehicles. They're excellent. The all weathers honestly don't give up much and are way more like a regular tire on dry pavement.
'24 Golf R that came with Hankooks. Just hit 14k miles and they're still going with about 4/32nd's left. Definitely getting louder as the tread goes lower. Overall, not terrible tires but don't have a lot of feel and grip is reasonable.
I have an Elantra N, but I daily drove RS4 on my M240i for a bit. Don't recommend unless you get no rain where you live. These tires take a lot of time to get up to temp and you'll definitely heat cycle them before the tread is even half done.
Hankook VP4 i had on my IX35 but the rears were deformed after 40-50.000kms, kinda my fault for not rotating the wheels, but i didnt rotate the turanza 5 that i had before them and they held up for 60.000 kms without deforming.
