    Goodyear Duratracs are the tires you want, they have the snowflake winter rating but lots of guys run them year round for everything.

    Its the symbol for severe weather rated. State laws may vary, but they often allow a driver w awd/4wd to not have to chain up.

    Duratracs are the most aggressive I know of, some AT ones are les schwab/Deans wintercat, BFG has one, GY silent armor, and some others.
