What are the best winter tires for a Volkswagen Passat?

I live in an area with harsh winters and I want to ensure that my Volkswagen Passat is prepared for the weather. What are the best winter tires that would provide good traction and handling for my car?

I highly recommend getting a set of Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires. They have excellent traction and handling in snowy and icy conditions.

I have had great experiences with Michelin X-Ice winter tires. They are durable and provide good performance in winter weather.

I have been using Continental WinterContact tires on my Passat for years and have never had any issues. They provide excellent grip on snow and ice.

I would suggest looking into Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires. They are specifically designed for harsh winter conditions and have never let me down.
