Seems like the longest wearing sets are the Michelin X ICE series rubbers.

Medium compound will be more like the General Altimax and the Nokians.

Softer will be those WS80s. I found the falken euro winters quite soft too and literally melts when temps get above 10 deg celsius.

So far for All seasons, the DWS 06 and Pilot A/Ses work well with typical Vancouver days (mostly wet days. Not too cold) The DWS having deeper cuts yet softer sidewalls (better ride) and the AS works better in the dry with still good wet weather performance and a more performance tire feel stiffer sidewall.

That’s about all I have off the top of my head.
