17" year-around tire thats good in snow?

I've got a 2000 Maxima that has the Potenzas on it now. Tread depth is fine, but their winter performance is "not adequate" as many of you have already said about these tires. I had no trouble "going down the road" with them, but they are HORRIBLE when trying to climb any kind of snow-covered hills. (I had to wait for a lady in a Lumina to break a trail for me...talk about embarrassing!)

Anyway....

Does anybody know of a year-around tire that will also give decent winter snow traction?

(I'm not looking to break trails in the north-woods with it, that's what the '01 2500 Suburban LT is for!)

I have the Cooper Lifeliner Touring SLE and they are fantastic in snow and rain (225/50/17). And they are not expensive...$535 out the door including road hazard!
