Default Tires for Snow/Ice

What are good tires for snow/ice, I do a LOT of highway in the mountains for snowboarding, but also tend to hit some very deep snow for ice fishing etc.

I was considering the TRXUS, but I'm hearing that they are very poor on the highway and near impossible to balance. Is this the case with most aggressive off road tires?

On my list are:

INTERCO TrXus Mud Terrain

Dick Cepek Crusher

Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip

I'm looking at these because I want AEV Bridger wheels, and I'd like to get both at that same place (Quadratec right now, although I'm weary after hearing how poor their service may have gotten)

Completely open to suggestions.

I've used those on my ZJ, awesome on highway and icy conditions, but they get clobbered in deep snow.

I have the ProComp extreme AT's on my Dodge ram. The are awesome on the highway for ice and snow. I was in deeper snow a few times, about 18" - 24". They dont seem to load up as quickly as the BFG AT. The worst was getting out of my off street parking after a snow/ice storm. About 15" of snow with 2" of ice in the middle. I had to go about 60 ft and then through a 4' high snow bank that the township plow left me. I got out with out much of a problem.

I hope this helps.
