Try http://www.tirerack.com; you can search by car make/model or by tire size. I understand Michelin just came out with an "all season" high-performance tire, but it's quite expensive. I think it's called Pilot Sport A/S.
However most people will probably respond that an "all season" tire is more like a "no season" tire, in that it's a compromise for all situations. I dunno, those new Michelins got good ratings in the Tire Rack customer survey, and someone posted good results with those tires.
I was gonna go that route but I like the summer-only Pilot Primacy tires on my Aero [and besides, they're brand new, didn't want to go through the hassle of selling 'em], so I decided to buy the SAAB dedicated (Gislaved) winter-tire and (BBS) wheel package for $846 plus shipping.
Since you live in New England, it's probably best to go that route... Oh wait, I totally forgot about the new Nokian WR tires... Great snow performance, and can be used year-round. Haven't tried them myself, but Stephen Goldberger (NINES) says they're great!
