If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.
Pros: good in snow, great
Cons: road noise higher

If you want to stay with the existing 22" wheel setup, I would talk with your favorite tire store about changing to 305/45R22 for the rears. The tire width will decrease from 12.6 to 12.0 and tire height will increase from 32.2 to 32.8, but you will have more options for all-season tires. Specially, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is available in both 285/45R22 and 305/45R22 and is a very good tire.
Pros: very good tire
This year got some Michelin cross climates. It is unbelievable.
I mean I really pushed it for fun and it had 0 issues. Great awd.
Pros: zero issues, great AWD
We have crossclimate2 on our Leaf and they are excellent. Summer driving are a little louder than the oem tires. When our Ariya is ready for tires, they will be a contender.
Pros: they are excellent
Cons: little louder than oem
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Cross climates are excellent, had many sets in my accord hybrid, but be prepared for a slight range hit. I haven’t run the pirelli scorpions, but from what other folks say the performance is solid, not cross climate level in the snow, but competent. However, they are quieter overall.
Pros: solid performance, competent
Cons: slight range hit
Vehicle:
Honda Accord

Pros: like them a lot

I love my CrossClimate 2. If you are good with the price, not much beats them in performance.
Pros: great performance
I've got the Michelin pilot sport all season 4 tires on my ND3 for the cold months and they do great, but I don't generally drive it if there's snow on the roads.
Pros: they do great
Vehicle:

Been using some variation of the Michelin pilot sports since I got my car in 2016 and on Thursday I got the AS4s and they have been amazing.
Pros: they have been amazing
