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 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.
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
Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
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've also used General Altimax Arctic with studs, they were really good all-round winter tires but they were annoyingly loud on the highway and they were more comfortable on snow and ice than dry pavement.
I replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.
I have about 5000 miles on General AS-05's, 235/45/18 mounted on Prismas. Love these tires.
I have been a fan of the Conti Pro Contacts before, as well as Pilot Sport A/S 3+. A decent budget tire is the General Gmax, however in my experience they get pretty loud as they wear.
