I doubt you'll find one, "LOST PICK" tire out there.

This is a good place to start thought: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=45371

For now, I'm running Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 tires. They're a dedicated winter tire however - not sure if you need them or not where you are. Canadian Rocky Mountains? I'll go out on a limb and say I'm darn happy I bought winter tires this year. Saved my butt a few times already me-thinks.

I also run snow tires in winter, but I recently purchased a set of Michelin 235 70 16 LTX MS2. Very highly rated tire.

I just got some Wrangler Duratracs and so far I've got complaints. I'm not sure where you're located, but these would probably work pretty well:

Not mine but I've had really good luck with Bf Goodrich's in the past.

Just put a set on my wifes KK. Awesome looking sidewall for an AT tire as well... completely changed the look of her Jeep!

Was toying around in 2wd in our recent snow storm, stock tires we wouldnt have been able to move through this stuff even in 4x4.

Firestone Destination A/T in 245x70x16. First time I bought them this year before winter came. So far I like them as much as my previous BFG A/T.
