Bicycle tires that are stable

I ride about 7 miles a day on pavement which at times can be uneven, have gravel, get wet or even snow and ice at times. A few years ago I had really good tires but the bicycle store near me closed and I do not remember what the were.

Now I have these slim, treadless in the center of the tires with a little tread on the side of the tires (supposed to direct water away?). I have slipped on wet surfaces and gravel and do not feel secure even on perfectly dry surfaces. Last year I hit black ice and had a major fall and broke my shoulder. I no longer ride when there is ice or even the chance of ice. I do not think I would have fallen like that with my previous tires.

Are there any year-round bicycle tires that will be secure on the road? Any recommendation are greatly appreciated.
