Tires Pirelli or NITTO
Nitto motivo 365. Ultra high performance tires and they're winter rated. They really do feel great in every condition also, had them on my 6 half a year now and loving how they feel more than the pirellis they replaced, which only lasted like 2 years also.
All new Pirelli Cinturato C3 on 19 inch are amazing. They are quiet, super gripy and predictable. And the sidewall is really cool.
The Pirellis are a tremendous improvement on dry pavement. I tried flooring it from a stop, and no wheel spin. Amazing difference. I haven't driven them in rain yet. I will say that they tramrail a bit.
I've put 75k km on the first set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires, also on SUV. No complains whatsoever.
I use Pirelli Weatheractives and they are an all weather tires (not all season, all weather) and work great and I'm in MB. Our winters are worse than yours and the tires were fine.
Went with Nitto Motivo 365s after my stock Hankook summers wore out. I mostly drive on country backrounds and like how the all-weathers handle those surfaces.
I replaced toyos at the same mileage with the same Pirellis. Huge difference in handling, I was shitting diamonds with Toyos on wet roads in heavy rain. They hydroplaned like crazy. I have put 65k on Pirellis by now and still have some life in them, probably another 10k. Great tires. And they were less noisy than toyos at least in the beginning.
Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.
Wow, that can explain quite a lot why my Pirelli's are squeeking by sharp turns, even slow driven thru, are unsrable on wider turns and got bad grip.
I have had this same problem with these tires on my XC60. I had the tires warrantied through Pirelli the first time and they replaced all four with new tires, same model. Not less than a year later I started having the same issues.
