Default new winter tire suggestions

hey folks. just looking for any suggestions on full winter tire suggestions, and rims as well. all steel winter rims will work great. Hakkapelitta? Hankook? Pirelli? Don't need high speed, just good tread. Thanks for everything STi family. Cheers

I have 2 New England winters on my Hakka 2's and expect to get at least another before replacing them. I love them!
(a previous search would not have permitted you to find my suggestion.)
