I went for the X-Ice on our car and mini-van. No complaints 3 winters in on both.
Big fan of the X-ice Snows though
I have used Michelin X-Ice and they are great.
I’ve had very good luck with X-Ice over the years.
I run the Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 in North Dakota winters and they haven't failed me yet
The Michelin PA5 is also an excellent tire.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 on my 09 Impreza sedan. Road noise is better than the winters I had, but I’ve heard they’re kinda noisy to some people. Wet and dry performance, especially in the hotter months is significantly better than my winter tires, and I feel much more connected to the road. Spirited drives on twisty backroads feel much better. In snow storms, starting/stopping feels amazing, like the snow isn’t even there, and I’ve never had an issue pulling through 5+ inches of snow. Making light and smooth turns has also been very good. However, I find it much easier to break traction compared to my previous winter tires if you’re being reckless, and it's harder to regain. Aggressive 90-degree downhill turns can make the back end step out. There's also a reported 1-3 mpg hit. Despite this, I would most likely buy them again.
Michelin cross climate 2’s on my 2016 Impreza sport hatch 5mt. I’ve had them for about a year and a half in central PA and they’ve treated me very well. They’re awesome in snow and the tread life has been good so far. They’re a little more noisy on the highway, but I definitely feel more comfortable driving the car in bad weather over my Jeep, unless the snow fall is over like 8 inches. Michelin cross climate 2 gets my vote!
I have run Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s on my MK7 GTI in the midwest and I've been OK.
I consider Nexgen tires dangerous with oversteer especially with high center of gravity vehicles. Maybe it's the soft sidewall.
