Round ones made of rubber have worked very well for me.

Wrangler DuraTrac's are a one of the better A/T's I've seen. Lots of siping for awesome snow ability, decent lugs for mud and are a 10 ply design. They hold up well to highway miles and are pretty quiet for aggressiveness.

Bridgestone Dueler Revo's and Firestone Destination A/T are the best all around All Terrain Tires, bar none.

BFG KM2's, GY MT/R-K's, Mickey Thomson MTZ's, and Cooper STT's..

If your looking for a agressive allterain look at the Cooper ST, GY Duratrac, and Mickey Thomson ATZ.. Those are the best 3 on the market today for a 15in rim

Please note: if you plan to be playing near sharp objects like rocks best to avoid 2 ply sidewall tires.
