Tires NANKANG or Vredestein
I replaced a pair of 2013 accord tires with **Vredestein Quatrac 5** and those are serving me well from last 4 years and 15000 miles .
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
We ended up replacing ours at 25k with Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s from Tire Rack. I highly recommend them.
Installed 4 Vredesteins 2 weeks ago done great in rain, snow, and dry.
Vredestein Pinza AT.
Kept seeing tons of good things, but not actual reviews. Live in Reno/Tahoe area up Mt Rose and have been really happy this big winter ripping around in the snow.
I just bought a set of winter Vredesteins in November and so far, I've been very, very pleased with their performance (coming from a history of Blizzaks, then more recently Michelin Alpins).
It sounds like your issues are mostly due to the tires. The stock tires aren't very good in the [snow and cold](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/continental-procontact-rx). I changed my tires to better all-weather tires (Vredestein Quatrac Pros) and saw great performance in snow for the last two winters in Chicago.
Also running Vredestein Quatrac Pro in a wet state that gets some snow too. Excellent all-rounder.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
I had nankang before. Stupid loud and didn't last long at all.
