I third the Nokians, especially the WR's. A tire with winter tire performance in the winter and all season performance in the summer. They bring a higher initial cost and aren't available everywhere, but I'm already on season 2 with mine with very little wear and only about 30,000km on them. With the amount of siping in them stopping distances are shorter and grip/acceleration is excellent.
The only downside is that they are only available at Kal Tire. I hope I'm wrong though, as I'm boycotting Kal Tire and would still like the option of buying Nokians in the future.
