I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.
I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.
Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.
I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.
My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.
I run Nokian winter tires on my vehicles. They've been nothing short of spectacular through more than a decade of driving the Northern Rockies in winter. This is excellent news!
I like studded snow tires and have had some nokian tires for a while and like them alot, enough to get a set on our subaru as well.
I have Nokian WRG4 on my Chevy Cruze , and just bought some Michelin Crossclimate 2 for my other Cruze. I'll know in a couple months how well I like them both. I love the WRG4 so far but have only a tiny amount of experience with them in the snow.
Blizzak’s are very common and the general consensus is that they’re great.
An alternative you may wanna look into are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re a little less common, but rated very highly and perform amazingly for the price (which is very affordable)

Used Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9's or 8's. Used Hakkapeliitta R3's if you're living somewhere where studded tires are illegal. Cost will be around $150-350 USD depending on your tire size, and performance will be equally as good as a newer low-end tire or even a mid-range tire if you get one that's only a year old.
Not a fan of Nokian, they slip like crazy. I have some of their all seasons on my RX350 and they are like hockey pucks, just sliding everywhere.
