Wet n cold weather tyres?

[robthetrackie]

Hi
I am after recommendations for tyres with the most possible grip, when driven at legal speeds.. in the cold and/or wet?

Many hi perf tyres are unhappy at, say, 5 degrees C but I am scouting peoples experiences for just that.

Keen for snow recommendations as well.

The car might be a Golf R and the tyre size might be Summer: 235/40/18 Winter: 225/45/17

cheers
