I daily drive my GTI in the city. Someone on here recommended Continental DWS06 tires as an economical but still good option and let me tell you, they are awesome. I’m loving every second I drive with them in.
Reviews of Continental parts For Business

My choice is Continental DWS 06 Plus. It truly is an ultra high performance All season tire, it does great in the snow, it's quiet and sticky, I used the non plus version before this and it was fantastic.
I left run flats and slapped on Continental ExtremeContact. They look great and ride amazing. Also I went wider and kept the thickness so it feels a lot more comfortable
Continental ExtremeContacts. Made a huge difference in traction, noise, and comfort. Even more of a point and shoot go kart now.
I live in the PNW, we don't get enough snow to warrant a whole set of tires (for me, anyways). I've been running the Continental dws06 Plus (and the prior non plus version) for years, they do exceptionally well in a couple inches of snow, even ice. I have cable chains for when it gets really bad.
Replaced my Geolandars with Conti ExtremeContacts and the ride and handling both improved.
I had the precursors to those viking contacts on my 17 forester and thought they were great.
I've run Hakkapeliittas, Blizzaks, and currently VikingContacts on my various Subarus. They've all been great but the VikingContacts have been my favorite of the 3.
Used to use them but they’re downright dangerous in the wet and almost impossible to get on/off. Use Continental Grand Sport Race now which are almost as resistant but half the price and with a lot more grip. No punctures in 1,600 miles.
The tires are in fact complete garbage, and I hope after completely destroying them by beating the absolute piss out of them I can get a better performance tire, because let’s be honest it’s SD, not Michigan.
