I've just gotten a set of the much talked about new Nokian all season winter tires on my Mazda 6.
I'm going to drive from Calgary to Vancouver on Thursday. I'll be going through rogers pass.
So I'll post on my impressions on it's performance in some of the most extreme winter conditions in Canada.

I'll be back on Monday or Tuesday.

After my drive I have to say I'm very impressed with these tires.

Snow: probably the most important aspect which these tires are for. They performed very well, as good as some winter tires I had in the past. They weren't as good as high end winter tires but then again these are all season tires.

Dry: these tires are great on dry pavement, they have a bit of lean in tight cornering and the road noise is slightly louder than the stock tires but gripped to the road.

Wet: in wet conditions the tires felt like I was driving on dry pavement.

Overall these tires are the first I've used which really are all season. I would recommend them to anyone who has to drive in snowy conditions in winter.
