Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
Michelin cross climate 2. Just buy it. Your done. Best all around tire you can get.
CrossClimate2 is the golden standard of all-weather tires. You can't go wrong with this (other than the price).
Crossclimate 2 tires are still the best performing all weather/all season tires in the snow. I advised my dad to buy a pair and he is extremely happy with that decision. He is driving a 2017 mazda 3.
In my experience, good tires like Michelin retain their good qualities at the end of their life better. They stay quiet and don't lose traction until the very end.
Honestly ive had defenders and ecopias on my gc i just put on some cross climates 2 and i love them! Nice a quiet great in wet conditions and unreal in snow!
I have these uncommon/hard-to-find Michelin summer tires (made in Germany - they are normally for the base 15" wheel on Minis) on my Yaris and it's legitimately fun. It's like a grand-touring summer, not a full-fledged high-performance tire. The main thing I was after was better braking compared to the rock-hard LRR tires that came on it.
I'm now running Michelin Power Cup TLRs for my road setup (similar to GP5000s) and I beat my fastest commute, my fastest long descent, and my fastest loop with hills handily. Before that I was running heavy commuter slicks.
Best tires I’ve ever owned for all weather
I’ve run several sets of PS4S on different cars and have my first set of DWS06 on my GTi, and I will say that they are very impressive so far. I’d say they give 85-90% of the performance of a PS4S
