For a high-performance all-season tire I'd look towards Kumho or Yokohama as they both make multiple variants that would fit the bill. BFGoodrich tires aren't too bad but they lack tight quality control so don't be surprised if at least 1 of your 4 is defective is one way or another. Sumitomo all-seasons are nothing special (their summer tires are great though). Goodyear tires are over-priced and under-perform.

Keep in mind though, no all-season tire will be excellent at anything; they'll be ok, good if you're lucky, but a far stretch from great at anything. I suggest what other people are saying and picking up a cheap set of stock wheels for some snow tires (the cheapest winter tire will far outperform the best all-season in snow and on ice). Whatever you do though, do not attempt to drive on summer tires through the winter.
