Default Subaru Outback Tire Recommendation Needed

I have a 1997 Subaru Outback that still have the original Michelin XW4 Tires
with a 110,000 miles on them. Here is the amazing part... the tread is only
55% worn. Due to the age and miles on these tires, I have decided to
replace them. The only reason I am not considering the XW4 is that I did
not feel they handle well in the snow and ice. The problem when I call the
tire shops, they just seem to be focused on their store brand. Tires
recommended at this point... Michelin HydroEdge, Toyo Spectrum, Goodyear
Triple Tread and BigO Euro Tour.

I do a lot of freeway miles commuting. The car is also used for skiing,
camping, and hunting. What I want is a tire that can really deliver on it
all, such as dry and wet braking and handling, winter driving/traction and
have a quiet ride. Is there such a tire? Any thoughts on the above
recommendation? What is your recommendation?
