Tires Vredestein or GENERAL TIRE
I have Cross Climates on my CX 5 and
Falken Wildpeaks on Crosstrek,General Altimax on my Ford Escape and Goodyear Workhorse on my truck.
These are awesome tires. I have them on my M3P and they don’t give up dry handling much while being a beast in the cold/snow.
The vredestein hypertrac all season was on sale and ratings was on par with michelin and continental. After testing them out i bought another set for the future. 2 sets of 4 hypertrac tires for $1050. Thinking about stocking up and buying a 3rd set.
General or Kumho are what I've used on my w123s. Both worked fine and were relatively cheap.
They are quiet and smooth riding. I think they are a bit softer than your standard all season, so in Florida they will wear fast.
I recently put the Vredstein Quatrac pro+ tires on my Golf R and finally got to test them in snow this past weekend and they too were excellent in the snow. The roads were covered in snow and ice and it dumped over the weekend, great tire and they had the right size for my golf unlike the cross climates. These tires seem to be a bit sportier in dry handling as well, with a Y speed rating, wet traction has also been awesome. I don’t have a ton of mile on the tires but based on my experience so far, including in the weather, I’d recommend them.
I think in my case where my Toyota Sprinter is a 5MT 4WD vehicle (with a center locking diff i might add ????), the Vredesteins are my favorite. In the other 3 seasons of the year where there is no snow, they are excellent in the wet, they are relatively quiet and i enjoy how they perform with more "spirited" driving.
I've driven the General Altimax Arctic and they were indestructible. They handled snow/ice very well in my FWD Honda. Since they're winter tires, I only drove them 1/2 the year for 6 years. At that age, they recommend replacing tires, but they were still performing great and had tons of tread life left, so I just left them on the car for the whole next two years. They handled both winters great and were totally fine in the summer.
I’ve had the generals on my bmw and they were alright
I have these on my Tesla Y. Not great at absorbing road imperfections. While they are quite, I do lack confidence in them in the rain and snow.
