something like the Continental DWS 06+ from April until November and a dedicated studded Winter tire like the Nokian Hakkapellitta 10 for Winter is a really great choice.
Falken’s parent company sumitomo makes the encounter AT with similar performance for much cheaper, it’s what I’m running currently and they’re great
My car came with Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 with about 19k on them. I bought it after a blizzard and was pleasantly surprised at how capable the tires are. We've subsequently had torrential rain and they grip great in the wet too.
The downside is that they're quite noisy.
I had nokian wrg4s on my subaru before selling the car my gf has michelin crossclimate2s on hers, both are excellent.
I’m a fan of Nokian WRG4s
We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!
I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.
Best tires I've used in order are:
Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)
I almost totalled my RX-8 when my HTRZIII's were not even that bad. Don't get me wrong, they're okay for the price (actually a great drifting tire), but I can't but help think you get what you pay for in terms of how quickly they wear, and especially how bad traction is when they get near the end.
Russian made nokians are bad for dry rot, luckily they dont make em there anymore
