The great white north here. Excellent traction in snow, and pretty good on ice. The benefits in wet and dry traction over normal winters for the times when it's not extreme conditions outweighs having dedicated winter tires. At least where I'm at.
Also there are better summer tires out there, I recommend the Michelin pilot sport 4s or the new Continental that recently came out, they have amazing performance and last a long time.
We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.
Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference
Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!
Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.
I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
I recently got Michelin defender 2, not as smooth as cross climate, but high durability and reasonably quite
Russian made nokians are bad for dry rot, luckily they dont make em there anymore
