I'll shill yet again for the Nokian WR All Season 2 tires. Expensive buggers at $180 per tire but the things are H speed rated for summer driving, severe service winter rated and warrantied for 6 years / 100,000km...
These things saved my bacon going into and out of Wiarton during the groundhog day festivities this year :P

All Seasons = No Seasons PERIOD.
Nothing compares to a good set of winter tires, and a good set of summer tires.
Higher initial cost, but better performance.
well it depends on where you live, if you live in the GTA, you don't really need winter tires much, but anywhere outside of Toronto & Vancouver, I'd recommend getting a set of winter tires depending on your area / driving habbits.
If your in the GTA I'd call the Tire Discounter in Brampton as they can get you a good set of tires cheaper the most places in or out of the GTA, I saved over $400 on tires earlier this year, and after dealing with them over the years, I never had an issue with the tires in the snow & ice outside the GTA.
Good All-Season Tires would include the Bridgestone Potenza RE G009...the Fuzion HRi's were based off of these, but the G009's are rated a little higher overall, moreso in the snow. My dad has had 2x sets of these on his V6 5spd 2-Dr Topaz, and they work fantastic!
Besides that, I'd get something like Blizzaks for the winter, and get something like the Fuzion ZRi or something else for summer duty.
