My Dokota MT's never lost grip with rain. And last year in MD with the heavy snow fall I was able to go where the humvees could 
And they were kinda cheap, buy 3 get the fourth free deal.

I run my firestone destination m/t's year round without issue.
also it's easy to sipe you own lugs - just use a flat razor blade to cut lines across the tire lugs (JUST THE CENTER LUGS) 1/4" apart, 1/4" deep.

I have Hankook M/T on my `98 XJ 2.5 TD and they works nice in snow,but when it`s ice on road,they were not good..After i did siping last week,they are okay on ice too.It`s still not a tire for winter driving,because the rubber are not soft enough in cold weather.

Living in Northern Michigan were the amount of snow is Crazy... I can personally recommend BFGoodrich A/T, these things are amazing. I'm not sure about how much snow your accustom to getting though?

I've been having a great time running on General Grabber AT2. Jeep is stock, but the tyres are 235/70/15 and Mud/Snow rated. The snow rating makes all the difference with softer compounds for cold weather. It has got down to 8 degrees F here recently and they've been great in everything from packed snow to icy roads (with caution obviously).
You can even stud them if you're really stuck.
Edit: I looked at the BFG ATs as well because they have a great reputation over here, but the Generals were about 2/3 the price.

I'm running Kumho ST KL16's. Not an A/T or M/T, A/T's from what I've seen are better in the snow, the M/T like everyones saying are just too hard in the colder weather.
