All Weather are in theory more like winter tires in that you get more grip and control in snow and ice. They have the same mountain and snowflake logo on them as winter tires do.

Most tire manufacturers produce dedicated winter tires that bear the severe service emblem (a snowflake on a mountain) on the sidewall. The emblem is used on tires that meet specific traction requirements on snow and ice at low temperatures, and is recognized by Transport Canada and the Rubber Association of Canada.

I'd suggest looking at the WR G2 as I read lots about the WRs have more road noise...although for most of us I'm sure this extra road noise is not really that noticable.
