While fun watching the traction control kick in and feeling the grip come back I did not trust the cornering grip so I did some research and read a lot of tire reviews from this site and others. These were my choice.

Customer Tire Reviews - Discount Tire

Hankook Ventus are great tires at a very good price.
Your tires lost their grip because they are Summer tires and you are driving them in Winter. You need to be on all seasons or winter tires in the Winter. FWIW the grip would have come back in the spring. The Ventus will have slightly more Winter grip as the compound is slightly more durable, but it is still a Summer tire, not ideally suited to Winter conditions.
