The Michelin Alpin PA3s are awesome in the cold and wet. They seem to be the best cold weather performance tire. Less awesome in the snow than other tires but fully capable. Their performance in cold dry or cold wet conditions more than make up for their snow shortcomings. IIRC, they aren't available in a 265 width. You might have to go with the PA2s which are almost as awesome, or stretch a 255 PA3 onto your wheels.
Also keep in mind that a 265/40-18 winter tire will almost certainly rub in the front (on the rear of wheel well). I have experienced this first hand.
