Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia
I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.
I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.
Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.
Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains
Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.
Have a 2022 Outback and the oem Yokohama tires were junk after 37k. Went with Yokohama avid ascend. Grips great in pouring rain, very quiet even with a window partially open and no noise interference on Bluetooth.
I have always found Yokohamas to be good. I find the A drive to be good grip, very durable and reasonably priced.
I've put Yokohama G015 all-terrains on Subaru AWD wagon for similar duties before.
I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.
My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.
The Advan A052 is the tire that most of the high power RS3/TTRS straight line dudes are moving to, that is fine on regular, dry roads but offers a better 60' than PS4S.
Most of my subies had Yokos on them. They're not that good.
