I am planing to change my car tires to Michelin Primacy MXV4 or Goodrich G-Force Super Sport (as all season tire). Does anybody know about their traction in winter? Are they very slippery? I used to drive with Hankook all season tires and they were okay.

Neither.

I have the BFGs on my car (summer use only).  There's no way in hell I'd ever use them in the winter. 

BFGs marketing department says they have a special band of compound that makes them useful in the snow but just buy looking at the tread pattern you can tell they'd be useless.  Plus all those little sipes wear down first so you're left with a tire that fits the summer performance category.

No problems here with MXV4 in winter, but it depends on location, F/RWD and so forth.
