I run ridge grapplers. They do pretty good in Colorado’s snow.
I have Nitto tires and they're great. I drive a lot of rural roads, gravel/sad crumbling asphalt. They've held up. They haven't even gone low in the cold weather at all.
I've had geolanders in the past too and they were also really nice. But the Nittos a slightly less expensive.
Love my Nittos. Much quieter and ride much more like an all season on the highway than Falkens. They’ve been great in the desert, during rain storms, and ice. No change in gas mileage either where I saw a pretty large dip with Wildpeaks.
I put the nitto on 2 weeks ago and very happy with them. Handled a small snow great.
I have a new set of the recon grapplers and they preform very well for what I do.
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).
I used to always run KO2, but now I run Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Much better tire in my opinion. Not near as much highway noise either.
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.
I have the nittos NT555 G2s on my mustang and they have lasted about 30k miles. But I wouldn't call them ultra high performance by any stretch of the word.
Vredesteins are shit for winter tires, at least in my experience. I had them on my C63, and it was like my car was wearing high heels. It was scary sloppy at 100km+ (60mph+) on the Autobahn.
