Personally I find General Altimax Arctics to be the best snow tire. Bought a set on my old jetta and now on my Subaru. The car is unstoppable in the snow and the price is right!
General Artic Altimax have been my go to for years now quite successfully, great bang for the buck. Just put a set on my 08 B6 3.6 VR6 4Motion wagon and I'm ready for anything.
If you want a Decent tire I would suggest the general tires 365AW grand touring tire they are 3 peak severe snow service rated touring tire with a 540 treadwear so they're not a dedicated snow tire but will do the exact same and you'll also be able to use them year round without them being too soft.
I like General tires for the most part and dislike Goodyear.
I've run about 6 sets of General Grabber ATX - good tires
I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.
I had pilot sports and switched to the gmax after having blow out after blow out no issue since making the switch. the general tires imo are far sturdier and have way better wet weather performance.
I'm running 225/60R16 General Altimax Arctic on aftermarket alloy wheels. 15's are definitely too small, my 16's barely clear the caliper
Firestone tires are garbage that are loss leaders to lure people into their ripoff repairs.
