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.

Didn't realize that the Celsius rated so low. On the dealer end of things, they're readily available since CrossClimate is way more money and limited in sizing. People aren't receptive of Firestone, and Nokian usually has cheese for tread softness so they're already mad that the expensive all-weathers Kal-Tire sold them are shot in a year and a half.
