On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.
I'm a fan of Nokian WR G4's for year round use. We loved them during our MN winters and enjoyed that we could keep them on all year.
I had a LOT of luck with my Nokian hakka R9s this winter on the LX470, but it's a studded tire. the x-ice were quieter but that's possible due to studs. As of now, I would highly recommend Nokians.
Last Fall I asked for winter tire recommendations and ended up buying Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for my 2021 KonaEV Preferred - many thanks for the advice - I was **very** happy with them through the winter.
I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.
I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.
+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.
I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17
I’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.
I had a set of Nokian Rotiivas with similar cracking, 30k miles on them and 50% tread left, but the tires were 5 years old. I had a blow out and nearly flipped my truck. Replace them
