Go to www.tirerack.com. They have user survey feedback on various tires, including all-season tires. It includes wear and handling characteristics including traction in dry, wet and snow. Most of them appear to be ok in dry and wet, but very few do very well in snow according to users. I can't get more info since the terrorist events of this morning have caused an overload on the internet and I can't get to their web site.
