There are several good winter tires. Blizzacks, Nokian, Michelin, Continental are great. IMO I avoid studded winter tires.
I had Continental DWS 06+ on my 2023 BRZ with a different wheelset and was extremely happy with them. I specifically tested them for grip in the wet and they were way better than the summer performance Michelin those cars come with as standard.
I went from the stock Firestone Destination M/T on my Willys Sport to the Continental TerrainContact A/T and they’re fantastic. My job changed and I have to highway drive about 100 miles round trip everyday. It was a huge difference. Quiet, great ride (for a Gladiator) and my mpg improved, I regularly get 22-23 on the highway with occasional 24-25 vs the sub 20 on the M/Ts. I can’t speak to the off-road element on these, I haven’t had an opportunity. Give them a look.
I went with commander 3s got about 4K on them now and mostly 2 up riding with very minimal wear, plenty of grip for fun riding even with some rain
Defenders are a surprisingly competent off road tire.
I bought Continental DWS06+, Honestly way too much tire for the car but I can go flat out around pretty much any wide corner and Ive developed a bad habit of braking too late because my tires are grippier than your mom.
Michelin CrossClimate. Best tires I’ve ever put on my tC when I had it.
Wheels from Tire Rack with Michelin Ice-X tires. Great setup - saved us the first year when we were caught in a terrible ice storm near St Louis, when nobody was moving and we drove around all the stalled traffic.
I had put 12k on mine before dry rot got them and replaced them with continental tires. Have been good over the 15k miles so far.
At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
