All weather tires are amazing, they act like winter tires , and they act like summer tires.
I had Nokian WGR3 at the time.

Nokian WRG4 are maybe the only serious competitor to the CrossClimate in that “all weather” category. I just put them on my S and they are nice and quiet and they are a low rolling resistance tire.
I like NOKIAN TYRES [HAKKAPELIITTA R3](https://www.kaltire.com/en/tires/hakkapeliitta-r3/302532.html)Size: 235/45R17 97T
Gislaved tires. They are studded from the factory and made by Continental. They are at least 30% less cost than Nokians and nearly as good. I have had both and will buy the Gislaveds every time.
Best winter tires I ever had were the Hakkapaletta’s by Nokian.
Don’t cheap out on winter tires. Nokian makes great winter tires, only available from Kal Tire. Michelin X-Ice are great too. I’ve also had success with Bridgestone Blizzak but that was a long time ago, not sure how the current models are.
I would recommend some Nokian winter tires, Hakkapeliitta R3 work well on my car.
I considered reskinning the stock 19" Pretorias with winter rubber, but instead will go with a set of factory 18" Pretorias shod in Nokian WR-G4. My motivation was to have zero fitment concerns, slight upgrade in tire protection, keep the current rolling-stock look which I love, try a tread type that is slightly less winter-storm-focused and instead mixed-winter-climate-focused.
Hate to be a neighsayer, but I've haven't been really impressed with the Nokian Hakkas. For all the praise they get on the forums, I was pretty disappointed with how they performed. I live in Central NY so we get tons of snow, so I got to test them out in a variety of conditions and they never really seemed to have traction. I had a set of 195 wide studless tires on my Golf. Upgraded to a GTI and the previous owner threw in a set of 225 studded Hakkas with the car. So I've tried these studded and studless, and have tried narrow and wide tires. I'm looking to try some Blizzaks this year if I can get my hands on them. A family member had them on their FWD Audi and the traction on them seemed really impressive; we were driving on a road that was completely covered in snow and he was swerving left and right and the car rode like it was on rails.
