Nokian Hakkapelita(sp?) R2s got me through the blizzard-like conditions in the Coquitlam Ikea area around 5PM yesterday. I went from Langley to Coquitlam and back without issue. My LSD-equipped car probably helped though, see attached.

I was easily able to maneuver around the majority of traffic doing 50-60 on HWY 1 without any stability issues.

I've also used the following tires in the past:
General Altimax - Great budget snow tire for wet weather with good wear characteristics, slightly noisy
Yokohama Iceguard 20 - Good on powder on the hills but poor hydroplaning resistance
Blizzak WS80 - Good on powder with decent wet weather capability, but too squishy in the turns for my liking
