If you don't want to go summer and winter sets then maybe a good set of all-seasons will serve you well. Although you need to understand their limitations in snow.
Got that bit.

I'm not opposed to winter and summer sets - I just need something in the winter that would handle 90% around-town driving and 10% mountain roads/snow. In the summer, I'd need around-town driving and mountain road twisty carving tires.
