Looks like the biggest problem in your case is the staggered tire size. If you had a square 19" set-up...you'd probably have a few more tire & tire brand choices.

Thank goodness my X came with 18" wheels which made it real easy for me to find a dedicated winter tire set-up (I went with the Michelin Latitude X-Ice xi2)...and I thought they were great the first winter I used them on the X (2012/2013)...but this past winter (2013/2014) was utterly brutal and those babies were awesome in snow/ice/sleet/rain/bitter cold...and even when temps got up into the mid 60s.

I believe (if memory serves me correct) the Blizzak DM V1 tire is a studless snow/ice tire...so that tire will probably work really well for your part of the country.
