Here are the HAKKAPELIITTA metal studded snow tires I had on last season.
That's about as high-end as winter tires get.
I bought my current car in October of 2016, and winter tire pickings were slim that time of year. But I've been very happy with the Hankook Winter i Pike RS W419 studded tires that were recommended by the company I've been using for tires for years. I'd never used them before, but they've exceeded my expectations.
They have very good wear, too. I'll easily get a third season out of them. I have them on dedicated wheels and have an impact wrench, so I can wait until there's snow in the forecast to install them. It takes less than an hour. That helps a lot.
