I had the original Tires 1.4k miles on my car last winter (Summer only tires) and obviously they didn't do well in the cold we had in Virginia. So once spring came I put Cup 2's on and they have been great. Yes they are not as good in the rain for my daily driver. As I look into the winter months coming I checked the TireRack website and the only tires for winter/all season are the Pirelli Sottozero and the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. I've used neither in the past. Any recommendations?
I got the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 last year. These are AMAZING tires in rain and even light snow (NJ weather). It feel like the car has better traction on very cold days then my summer Pilot Sport on summer days. I use F: 265/35 R19 and R: 335/25 R20. The only issueis that it may be difficult to find a shop that can mount a 335 without damaging the rim. Make sure they use plastic shoe to mount the tire on the rim.
Here is an Autocross pic on the PA4s last winter (21 Deg F):
