All of this deliberation about favourite tyre brand and all season vs winter vs anything else neglects the elephant in the room, which is tyre profile choice. There is this assumption that wider = better , which it may be under dry conditions, but it certainly isn't in wet or snowy conditions. I remember learning to drive in the days when we used to get proper winters and those well known performance cars the Fiesta 1000 and Mini 850 were fitted with 145 or 135 section tyres, and they performed very well in snow. A good thing too, we used to get it regularly.
Fast forward to the 90s and I bought a Cavalier, 195 or 205 section tyres, great in the dry and damp, awful in snow because they failed to cut through to the tarmac and instead floated on the surface. The same applies today, and the sections are even bigger. Compare and contrast things like Land Rovers that are actually used off road and the design is that narrow tyres are fitted so that they cut through soft snow or mud and find their way to more solid material below. The 200+ mm plus tyres fitted to some off road vehicles are better suited to pub car parks.
As ever, it's all a compromise. But if I wanted winter tyres I'd fit them much narrower and sacrifice the limits of adhesion in the dry to get better performance in the slush.
