I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.
I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.

KYB are usually the best value for the quality
I just replaced the tires on my wife's XC 60 with Goodyear Weather Ready 2's because we also live where it snows.
I had to change the battery on my Volvo 940 7 years ago, it was the original battery from 1996 Wich means that my battery lasted for 22 Swedish winters.
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
Went with the DWS 6+ but they are noisy. Very grippy here in Vancouver though. I have doubts about them in the snow though.
A/C condenser. Each of these visits were at least $1000, the AC condenser over $2k.
EGR went on Christmas eve. That was annoying but got repaired in indy garage.
