Michelin Cross Climate, Continental AllSeason Contact, Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons and Pirelli Scorpion Verde all-season are worth looking at. As well as being safer in winter, these tyres are more compliant so give a better ride, give better steering feel and are quieter. But in my opinion, they need to be fitted to all four wheels or the disparity between ends could have you slipping off the road in the snow.
