We have Gislaveds which are great in the snow and only good in the ice if you stud them. They're very soft so don't handle well on dry pavement. A serious snow/cold weather tire.
How about the Michelin Artic Alpins? We have those on our other car. If it didn't snow much but got icy alot, that's what we'd buy again. Handling is almost on par with an all season. Not too bad. Ice traction is pretty darn good. Snow traction is OK but I've seen better. The treadwear is a little much so you'd want to put them on late in the season and take them off when it gets warmer.
