Michelin is the best tire brand.
I typically buy Cooper tires, good quality without the cost of Michelins.
For me it’s Michelin only; it’s the only tire where I can tell a difference between other tires
I always do Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
My previous set were the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Now, I'm using a set of Michelin X-Ice. I've driven around the city and as far as Whistler/Big White (I used to go Cypress 3-4 times a week too during the winter). Blizzaks were a beast in heavy snow. But I think for what you're looking for, I would just go with the X-Ice. They're really quiet and the ride is really comfortable.
Continental DSW06, might be able to find older model (not the + I think) for cheaper.
Among the low-cost good ones; Vredestein. Now I stick to Michelin (bought various X-Ice2/3/PA3) as I like that they won't feel like winter tires.
I have Michelin Ice-Xes on my GTI and they do a great job.
We put Conti VikingContact 7 on the Passat last winter. They are fantastic. They've actually scared me more than once when I realized that I just drove thru stuff I should be careful on but never even noticed it.
Might be needing some new all season tires soon as my current ones (Continental Extremecontact DWS) are almost down to the wear bars.
