It's hard to stray from the 3D's with regard to value. A set for my car would run $395 (after $25 AE card).

Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 are a close contender. But they're $466 (after $50 AE card). They are at the top of the TR Performance Winter Survey Results. They barely edge out the 3D for 1st place. I just wish they weren't a touch lower on the tread ware ratings there though. They're also ranked high, at 3rd place in the CR Performance Winter category. I'm just not sure they're good enough to justify the $71 difference in price.

Now Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero at $310 (after $50 AE card) are quite a good bargain and they rank 3rd on TR Performance Winter Survey Results but they are mediocre according to the CR ratings.
