Another vote for Wildpeak AT3Ws. I run them on my Cherokee Trailhawk in the PacNW. They seem to be a very solid blend of off-road useful, good on the highway since I have a 50 mile round trip commute, and they have been great in the snow and ice. They are pretty quiet on the roads too. When I lived in a snowier area and drove cars I had winter and 3 season tires. My last Audi wore Continental Sport Contacts for 3 seasons then would be swapped out for Continental WinterContacts for the snowy season. Blizzaks have been the standard for years, but I thought the WinterContacts were better from driving with both.
If you don't want to swap tires, a good set of either AS or ATs with the "Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake" logo will be the best bet. Most OEM tires, outside of the sports cars and high-line brands, are hot garbage tires designed for fuel economy and low road noise.
