I just used some regular all seasons for the accord, never got stuck, even being lowered 2.5+inches. I have general altimax artics for the subaru just b/c I'll drive through anything with it, lol.
These are designed to be used year round. But they are a compromise though. They will not give the level of grip that a true winter tire will, but definitely better than a regular all-season tire.
I've heard great things about Firestone Winterforce tires. My buddy and his father both have a set mounted on steel wheels for the winter and love them. They are real beefy looking too.
