I'm running yoko geolander A/Ts at the moment, the side walls are much stiffer than the last tires I was running which were BF Goodrich vantage controls, which imo were solid all season tires. The geos don't make much road noise and have performed very well in the snow.
Pros: performed very well in snow, don't make much road noise
Cons: stiffer side walls

I’ve driven my FXT in temps down to 0°F, and it always comes up to operating temperature.
Don’t run the heat until coolant hits about 150-160°. The heater operates by running air over the heater core, which is filled with hot coolant.
Pros: always comes up to temperature

I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem
Pros: easy installation
Cons: external trans cooler needed

Nitto Motivo 365 are a fair bit less than the CC2 and are an excellent all weather tire. I've had them on my Forester for a year now. On the Legacy, I used to swap between dedicated summer and winter tires, but the Nittos have been excellent, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having snow tires.
Pros: excellent all weather tire

I ran the Toyo ATIIIs on my Tacoma and they worked almost as well as my Blizzaks I have on my Outback. But doing it again is get Wildpeaks, which a ton of my friends have, far quieter ride.
Pros: quieter ride

I had Continental performance all seasons on my WRX for 3 winters, never had much of an issue stopping or going. It depends how good the tires are. They were NOT intended for snow at all but did pretty good. We don’t get super crazy snow in WV, but if you have more frequent heavy snow, yeah winters are worth it.
Pros: did pretty good, no issue stopping/going
Cons: not intended for snow
Vehicle:

Subaru rotors aren’t the greatest
Cons: not greatest quality

That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.
This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.
I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.
I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.
When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
Cons: dry rot, tread disconnected, sidewall blew, car almost rolled
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
I learned mobil 1 is the absolute worst oil to use in Subaru engines, especially ej257. Simply because it is good oil but because of the poor oil cooling the detergents burn in the engines causing premature wear.
Cons: detergents burn, premature wear
