As the temperature approaches freezing, the rubber compound hardens and reduces the amount of traction that the tire gives. Some tires are predictable and if there is not precipitation, and if you are not pushing the car, it's generally not dangerous in my opinion on most tires.

Thanks, everyone. Out of the responses I see three suggestions for the Goodyear F1s; 2 for the Bridgestone Pole positions, and a mix for the rest. It looks like there's a clear consensus that for my kind of driving in the Great, Wet, Pacific Northwest, all-season radials are a smart decision for my kind of driving.

I think I'm going to go with the F1s. They've gotten great reviews. A tad pricey, but I tend not to skimp on oil, brakes, or tires. I mean, I want the car to go, stop, and turn.

Fast.

This is a really helpful forum!
