Recommendations for tires in size 185-65-R14

Looking to replace the tires on my car, one of them is likely punctured, and long enough ago that the shop won't fix it, and since the fronts were not wearing all that evenly I'd rather replace all four rather than just two.

Priorities are for good traction on the dry, wet, or snowy conditions in the winter. Would consider tires rated low rolling resistance, but that depends on the additional cost/tire vs a normal tire.

Current set is 4 matched Hankook h418 tires, UTQG rating of 440AA iirc, and a max cold inflation pressure of 44 psig. A new set of these would cost around 400 - the rebate for one tire at the tire shop. They grip ok in the dry, but were only so-so in the wet and or snow.

Considering the goodyear assurance fuel max tires, 51 psig max cold inflation pressure, but only so-so in the wet according to reviews.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks.
