Tires ?

I'm about due for a new set and would like to stay with on/off road tires. Currently have factory tires. My biggest two concerns are, good traction in the snow and ice, "the factory tires arn't worth a darn", and road noise. I pull a 5800# TT through the mountains, but not in the winter. Also milage (MPG) is important. As far as off roading, it's usally just rocky or bumpy terrain.

Any suggestions??

Michelin AT2s. I have had the Nittos and Bridgestones and they both wore out in less than 35,000 miles. I also pull a 30' 10k triailer all over the USA.
My Michelins have 25,000 miles on them and still look new.

Good year Silent armor "E" range pro grades have been good to me. Haven't had them in the snow yet, but they are great everywhere else....rocks, sand, dirt, load rating, road noise, etc.
