Have you looked for the nitto trail grapplers in a 37? They get rave reviews and should suite your needs. The krawlers may not be so grand in the snow and wet like the other options.

I've looked at the trail grapplers but I think if I went that route I'd just get the open country's I've heard the nitto have some jittery road manners

Yup, I had the grapplers on my YJ. Just imagine what it's like to drive down the rumble strip of the highway, except it'll be everywhere you go.

That may be a slight exaggeration, but it will hopefully give you an idea of what to expect. I still think they were a great tire though. I like them much better than my DC Mud Country's.

I love BFG KM2's. a little noisy and the little bit harder rubber will give you a longer life without much traction loss offroad.
