I put a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 on my 2016 OBL over a year and a half ago and would not switch to or recommend any other tire for all around use here in New England. Amazing traction in any kind of situation I've been in.

Buy Sava Eskimo winter tires and you are good to go anywhere
For the Pacific NW USA, where it rains a lot, I keep coming back to Continental CrossContacts. Tire Rack ranked them highly for rain (my #1 priority) and very high just about every other category.
I went with the Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs. Very similar tire just higher quality than the stock. Replaced my stock Avid GTs at 46k. Up to 58k now and I can say I like them.
You can’t go wrong with Falken RT660s though Yokohama A052s are a hair faster.
I have my second set of Yokohama Geolanders GO15s on my '14. The first set had inconsistent tire wear because I let them go without rotation a little too long. I replaced them at 50k. If they had worn evenly I feel I could have gotten the full 65k out of them.
The road noise and mileage are just as good as the Continentals that came stock on mine. I have that little extra grip on the gravel and dirt back roads.
The first time I put Michelin Pilot Supersports on my E92 BMW I was awestruck. Not only were those tires amazing, but they were replacing runflats which were garbage in any metric besides their ability to run flat which I never used.
I put Falken RT660s on my STI. The grip level is amazing but a heavy, AWD car can be hard on these tires unless you are set up with the appropriate amount of camber.
CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).
I had both on my 2017 3rd gen Tacoma. I kept the truck stock as far as suspension, no lift, etc. I started with KO2s and put about 20k miles on them. Then I switched to WPs because the KO2s were garbage in the snow. Although I mostly switched due to the poor performance on ice and snow, the plus was finding out that the road noise and vibration was night and day. I didn’t know how bad the KO2s were until put on the WPs. WPs drastically improved snow and ice performance as well as road noise and just overall smoothness of the drive.
