Tires Toyo or Cooper
The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.
I just order TOYO tires then pay a shop to install and balance. I rotate myself and save the extra money aside for any damage/repairs I might need later. it's financially worked out to my gain over the last decade and several sets of all season and winter specific tires.
We have been running some amazing Cooper tires on our Acura. I think they have more than 75k on them and we are not changing them yet. They are top notch tires.
For an SUV/CUV I generally recommend Cooper Discoverer Enduramax which maybe a good choice here as it has an extra belt layer and is a bit tougher than many regular all-weather tires
I got Coopers on both our pickup and VW Jetta in the past year. They were on sale. Seem good...
I’ve been pleased with Cooper tires over the years. Both vehicles I have right now have Coopers on them.
If you want ATs because of looks, there is already a proven option: Toyo Open Country ATIII EV.
I have toyo open country A/T III 4 season tires on my truck and I find they perform decently in winter
Those Toyo tires are so old, they don't even exist anymore.
She now shakes down the autobahn with coopers on at 100k.
