Believe it or not, Hankook K106. Now I have them on a Supra that is only
on the road in the summer, but I had to remove it from the garage last
winter and it got covered with snow for the first time since I owned it,
and it moved well in the snow (the K106 is an "all weather" tire.) I can't
attest to much more than that for winter use, but in the summer they are
grippy, handle quite well, and are quiet (a concern since I have a "Sport
Roof model Supra).

They are also <$100 each.
