Nokian (any of their winters), Blizzaks (any of their winters), michelin x-ice or General Artic winter tires are the 4 brands that I stick to for winter tires. Nokian is hands down the best, Blizzaks and Michelin are a real close 2nd and 3rd and the generals are a solid budget tire that I used to run on my 240sx in ottawa way back in day. (I currently run General Grabbers on my pickup and they are better than the bfgoodrich that are nearly 100$ more a tire).
I would purchase Kumho tires (and I have and was very happy) before I purchased Laufenn.
I currently have General Altimax Arctic, studded, on my 2013. So far they have been great, but we will see how they go in deeper snow.
We have owned that tire on all four of our souls and we have had no problems in the snow. I personally like the tire, it’s rated great on tirerack.com and it drives great in the dry,wet and snow .
I had Generals on my 2012 Corolla for a few years with no abnormal wear issues. They’re quality tires.
I have general Altimax on mine and they’re amazing
I have General G-Max RS on my CC: 255/40-18 on a new set of wheels. It launches much harder than it did with the stock Continental all-season tires.
I actually run the kumho ecsta pa31! So far I love everything about them, they have tons of grip and really low road noise if that's something you're concerned about.
Another vote for the Generals. My CRV seems to ride like **** and handle like dog-**** with them on, but I love the abuse.
The worst OEM tires I ever had were Kumho's. Shot at 30k and had been rotated.
