I had the Nokian all-season snow rated tires years ago on my Subaru STi, in the midwest, as my winter tire and loved them. They were not as soft as snow tires and performed very well in frigid temps on dry and wet surface, with the occasional heavy snow.
I have them on my '17 Bolt. They are definitely quieter than the previous tires. They seem to be holding up well, and I love hearing the tires chirp for traction when flogging it a 30 MPH!
Sailun tires are pretty good in general for being off brand. My Jetta had them when I bought it — I put about 45k miles on them before they wore out. And during that time I hit a pothole hard enough to bend the wheel — but the tire survived.
I was skeptical at first because they were so cheap. But after I did a cross-Canada trip on them I was so impressed by them. They survived nasty potholes. I didn't notice any range loss. Very quiet as well. The grip in wet conditions were far better.
Recently swapped out the horrendous oem Hankook street tires with Nokian Outpost nAT LT275/70r18. By FAR the best tires I’ve ever had on a vehicle. Actually more quiet than the stocks, better handling and lost no mpg’s.
They do fairly well on other terrains as well such as wet/mud/rocky/sand with my only minor complaint is that they love to pick up pebbles which tend to make an annoying tapping noise as they rotate
I went with Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 -- they're decent.
Have had Hakkas on three prior vehicles as they've been my go to for years. Fantastic tires! Wanted them on the S3 but when I saw them in store I was shocked by the softness of the compound and was worried about treadwear.
Nokian Hakkapellitas if you've got the budget for them.
Blizzaks never failed me on my FWD Volvo V70 in the Rocky Mountains. Made it up Wolf Creek Pass in February through at least a foot of snow
Sailun is far from the best, but better than most 3PMS all-seasons.
Mine are now just under 9k wear and have become noisey AF. Not to mention they seem to grip less and less as they get used. On a 2015 GTI and I have the car aligned twice a year with winter/summer seasons tire swaps. New they were awesome.
