My 2017 Focus RS with Blizzaks. Nothing I've driven has ever come close.

My Chrysler 300S 5.7 does shockingly well in medium snow. Blizzard conditions are not acceptable for that car, so give me a Subaru Legacy GT Limited Spec B with Blizzaks
My 5 cylinder Volvo V60 with snow tires was the best winter car I've ever driven.
I found out that my Titan with some weight in the bed (sand bags, since I can also use the sand to get traction) and in 4-Hi with decent All-seasons helped me survive taking my wife to work daily in 2021 while the south was frozen over for a week while I saw plenty of stuck and wrecked vehicles everywhere.
My old '94 Blazer, shod in her Pirelli Scorpions, wrap around rock bars, Vortec V-6. Unstoppable.
I have a 25 yo Subaru Impreza RS that is completely unaffected by snow. That is as long as I put proper snow tires on in the winter, I forgot to switch one winter before a storm and my summer tires were pointless to say the least.
Depends on the All Seasons IMO. Michelin Pilot AS have been pretty good. Cross Climates are better. But yes, nothing will beat snow tires.
Nannkang NS20 is the cheapest tire that's good enough you won't think about it
I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
I needed new tires *ridiculously* fast, as the OEM set's treads wore out at an absurd rate. I honestly think I had a bad set, because even the tire guys who replaced them were shocked at how bad, and *inconsistent*, the wear was on 1-year-old tires. I got a 40% discount on them due to the warranty, but they were still $700.
