Car and Driver (or maybe it was Road and Track) had a great review of the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 All-Weather (NOT all-season) tires. But they're pretty pricey and are not any good below about 40 degrees.

I ultimately decided to go with them as my summer tires and the Kumho Ecsta ASX for winter tires. I haven't gotten them yet, but the Kumhos look like an excellent value. The reviews suggest they're not the best all-season or winter tire out there, but they compare pretty well and are about half the cost of their competitors.

Tirerack.com also provides a lot of information and some useful reviews of different tires.
