The options i'm considering are another set of wrg4's, Michelin crossclimate2's or Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady.
Any experience or recommendations? Thanks.

I’ve used the WRG2, WRG3, Nordman WR, run-flat Blizzaks, and regular all-seasons (Pirelli P7, Michelin Hydroedge, etc.)
The all-weather tires I’ve used are a lot better in the snow and ice than all-seasons for sure. I would say they were close to the Blizzaks in snow/ice. I did feel they weren’t great in terms of longevity (every set I had developed a sidewall bulge on at least 1 tire before the warranty expired).
From Consumer Reports, the CrossClimate+ (75) is their top-rated all-weather tire followed by the Assurance WeatherReady (64), Vredestein Quatrac 5 (62), Firestone WeatherGrip (61), WRG4 (59), and Toyo Celsius (53).
The Firestone was the best rated of the bunch in snow and the WRG4 was the best rated on ice. The CrossClimate+ was the only all-weather tire to score above average in all categories.
