All season tires that perform well in snow/ice

Just got back from an experience I prefer not to repeat again and was hoping for some tire advise. Recently purchased a 99 9.5 with Kumho performance tires. Not sure of the specific model, but definately not the grand touring all season tires. Went sking in the North Carolina mountains on a 50 degree day only to come back in this weeks snow storm that has blanketed the east coast. Suffice to say it was a scary experience trying to get up some of those hills on the way back as well as trying to get out of the convenice store parking lot, all of which had slight to moderate (by typical) inclines. I am assuming it was the tires. They have a good 5-10k of tread left but are not designed for this type of driving. Outside of purchasing snow tires to deal with our 5-7 days out of the winter where it snows here in North Carolina, what would be good tires to purchase that would help me get around town in this type of weather while still having a tire that grips well in the rainy season. I like the prices of Kumho and wasn't sure if it's all season tire was any good. Willing to pay more for a better tire. Thanks!
