Tires Nexen or Kumho
I got a set of Kumho WINTERCRAFT ICE Wi31 from Quattro Tires which have been great for me. Quiet and good traction in snow.
Without checking the prices on any of those links, Kumhos give the most performance and life for the dollar price typically
Kumho solus 31s on my car - got a full set a few years ago. No complaints whatsoever - well worth the money imho; very good quality.
My Truck has Kumho Crugen HT51. They are much better then the Goodyear Wranglers they replaced.
Just bought kumho ecsta pa51s for a really good price from Quattro tires based in Quebec. Have dealt with them before on kumhos and have good customer support and shipping times. The pa51s are high performance all seasons with really good tread wear but not a lot of recognition they’re really nice so far.
The next tires i plan on getting are Kuhmos. I had some on a '16 GLI that were very quiet and rode great.
I would purchase Kumho tires (and I have and was very happy) before I purchased Laufenn.
I have those Kumhos and I am not a fan. They are quiet, but not nearly as sharp as the RE050s they replaced, but the car moved from Texas to Ohio and I had to have all-seasons. I have 50,000 on one pair and 20,000 on the other (blew out 2 sidewalls in winter potholes) and I am going to use them through the summer and then put something else on for next winter (even though there's still a lot of tread there), probably Continental DWS. They are inexpensive, last forever (if you stay out of potholes) but feel awfully soft on turnin. Not really bad, just not my thing.
Nexen is shit. Hyundai kia use them as their stock tires and they are absolute dogshit. Honestly 90% of their reputation for poor ride and handling. I popped one on a pothole. 3 mm sidewall thickness.
They will work good in the winter on ice and snow but they will suffer on dry conditions and the highway. I find that once you are driving over 50 mph (80km) they turn very unstable and very floaty. Also, they will be loud and cornering on dry pavement is pretty bad.
