I'm leaning towards the Blizzaks or Dunlop Wintersports. I want something with decent dry handling capabilities.

Default I'm just sticking with the ContiExtremeContacts, leave them on all year

I have never had trouble with them, not as good as a winter tire, but 98% of the time, they get the job done well, for all seasons.

3D. Best mountain/town compromise tire I've found.

Yes they are, but they are not snow tires.

Default Nokians are totally good, and they rule, ... Hakkapeliitta RSi

they are just fine on dry, though not the <i>best</i>
... but anything that is better on dry, is not honestly a snow tire, but merely a "winter" tire.

you either want a <b>snow tire</b>, or you don't
