Coming from stock all seasons I'm hoping this is a sizeable upgrade.

I never had the WRG4 on my vehicle years ago, but I think I had the WRG3. I had them on the car year round.
HUGE upgrade from pure all seasons. I didn't sweat going into the mountains even in snow storms for the first 3 years. I don't think I ever had to rock the vehicle to get unstuck in the city for the entire duration of ownership (although I'm sure AWD helped too).
It was the 4th year that it started getting a little sketch in the mountains, still met my needs for the 4th and 5th year as dedicated summers/city snow storms when the snow came down a bit early. It allowed me to delay putting the winter tires on and not burn through that winter tire tread prematurely due to Calgary weather and winter warmth. As a year round tire and me driving around 15-25K km per year though, it was excellent.
