Tires MICHELIN or GISLAVED
I saw you had some random no-name tire on the fronts and Pilot Sport 4S tires out back. While drag radials would help absolutely, you should see a significant increase by just swapping the 4S tires to your front drive wheels if you have a square set up (same sized front and back).
Ain't cheap but amazing I put my hat in the ring for the Michelin Crossclimate 2
the PS4S’ have been the best performance street tire I’ve used, im on my second set.
I've had good luck with Michelin tires dating back to the ones on my mom's Golf when I was in high school. They tend to be a little more expensive than other brands but they're a sure thing.
Factory tires are extremely mid. If you'll be driving in harsh weather conditions you should plan on upgrading them. I put Michelin CrossClimate 2s on mine and am very happy with them all year round.
x-ice on another FWD SUV and they did well.
Had the Michelin X Ice on my gen 1 for a few seasons. They worked great.
I had a very good experience with the Gislaved Nordfrost 100s. They were fairly priced, they have a crazy amount of tread for a tire, and their performance was very good.
We have these on one of our FWD cars, and the Bridgestone WeatherPeaks on another FWD car. If you deal with snow for a decent part of the year the WeatherPeaks are a phenomenal tire, basically a snow tire with a high wear rating, the Cross Climate 2 is OK in snow.
I drove Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the highway in subzero weather on icy roads which are ZR rated because someone stole my car before I had my winter tires mounted.
They hit the ditch in the car.
