Tires Nokia or Vredestein
My friend tried the HyperTrac and said they are better than the Nokian Z/line and Michelin AS4s.
Hakkapeliittas FTW, have the 9s on my STI and my dad has the 10s on his 440i, unbelievable amount of grip especially with awd and LSDs
These are Hakkapeliitta 9 studded that I got for a deal because the 10s are out already. Jokes aside I’ve never driven on a tire that gave me this much confidence in snow/ice.
Vredestein Pinza AT.
Kept seeing tons of good things, but not actual reviews. Live in Reno/Tahoe area up Mt Rose and have been really happy this big winter ripping around in the snow.
I bought a set of Nokian One tires for my 2019 Civic EX back in September. I believe the sidewall says all-season. They’ve been excellent so far.
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 like the Nokian WR G4 for my 16" wheels as it's a proper *all weather* and electric friendly (like most Nokians.) Not sure if they make them in a 205/45r17, but they are good for wet/cold/winter and just ok in the dry/warm.
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.
Also running Vredestein Quatrac Pro in a wet state that gets some snow too. Excellent all-rounder.
I bought a used Daimler with some sh\*tty Chinese made tires, I replaced them the next day with Vredestein All Weather tires.
