I'm running BFG Traction T/A's now. On my previous stang (with a 2.3) I ran Radial T/As year round, and those did well here in minnesota. Though I definetly have a bias towards BFG...
One thing I found useful last time was that going a little wider, and a little softer tread, seemed to reduce the amount of spin in the snow.

Get some dedicated winter tires/wheels for the winter, and some sticky tires for the summer. There is no tire out there that is good in the winter & summer, you have to compromise at some point.
You could probably get a set of 16" alloys and a set of winter tires for under $500, and the traction will be 10x better than any all-season tire.

That was what I had expected, until I bought tires that were wider. Although the tread pattern and rigidity were different, as well, so I can't say it was entirely due to the width. Of course, it also depends on what you are trying to get traction on... In MN, we'll often end up with narrow ice ruts in alleyways, so if you have a wide enough footprint to get past the ice ruts, that seems to help some. But each area and each condition is different.

I always had good luck with Bridgstone Potenza tires, I ran the cheaper RE910's and they worked great in the snow (until the tread wore totaly off anyway 
) I paid like 89$ ea. for a 245x50x16. I hear the Blizaks(sp?) are realy good snow tires.
I have 4 brand new 33x12.5x15 bfg mut t/a's sitting in the basement if you want some tires for that 4x4 mustang
