Tires Hankook or Nokia
I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.
I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.
Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.
I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.
I got Nokian Tyres, all season last fall. I drove them all last winter, which was quite snowy, 62 km each day during the work week. No issues. One very snowy day the ramp of my building wasn’t plowed or defrosted. Other cars couldn’t get up the ramp. I watched 3-4 cars try and fail and I got there and up I went no issues.
I had the same isssues with the Michelins so I swapped them for the hankooks.

Hankook sam vozio u identicnoj dimenziji, meni odlicna guma.
Uzmi Nokian (Hakkapeliitta). Nećeš više u životu pogledati nijednu drugu zimsku gumu.
I’m on my second M3. The first came with Michelin the latest on Hankook. The Hankooks are I think slightly quieter but if you enjoy driving definitely go for the Michelin. The Hankooks have very soft sidewalls which gives a slightly soft squishy feel to the steering and much poorer turn in than the Michelin.
No experience with the Continentals but I really did not like the Nokians. I bought them because they seemed to be well-reviewed, they were only marginally better than the Nexens in terms of traction yet they were a decent bit louder. Despite having plenty of tread left after 35k miles I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour and they’re so much quieter and the traction is much improved. I had a friend who is a frequent passenger in my car comment on how much quieter it was completely unprompted the first time he rode in the car after getting the Michelins. The Nokians were loud from the beginning and traction in wet conditions decreased rapidly as they aged.
Got mine a few weeks ago. Can't say I'm crazy about them. I drive a Prius Prime. On stock tires I got about 95+mpg(summer) on my 120mi daily commute. When I got G4, I was getting ~85mpg(summer). When I got G5, it dropped to about 75mpg(now). With just the gas engine, I got about 55mpg on stock tires, ~49 on G4, and something like ~45mpg or a bit higher on G5. I know new tires are generally more draggy. But this kind of number is still concerning, even though G5 has certified low rolling resistance and G4 didn't
