I have run Michelin ATX tires and really think there a good tire. Then I also have run BF Goodrich all terrian radials which also lasted a long time on my old ramcharger, seems like a good choice for jeep. Are they the cheapest? doubtful. But I think they are a good value tire,either. Cheaper tires you will get less mileage out of, both fuel mileage and rubber mileage, imo.

Goodyear Fierce Instinct VR. I have these on a 2002 Mustang and the car is actually usable in the snow and rain now. I put them on a Subaru Impreza and no snow can stop it. Finally added them to my 07 Sebring, Price is awesome $100 to $125 (check sams club and Walmart). I highly recommend them!!
Another awesome tire is the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred. I had them on my 02 Ram, (under the Fortera label) the worn out ones had better traction than the new Firestones I put on. Great traction no so good tread life I got about 45k usable miles out of them expensive and short lived. I swore at them and Goodyear for the tread life but after trying other tires will put them on again. They are THAT good.

Michelin LTX, at least the older ones, wear like iron, but the highway tread design does poorly in snow even though they are rated all season. Really most "All season" are going to be less than great in heavy snow. I did have some General Grabber AT2 that did pretty well. I have Treadwright's on my ram 1500 now. They have the mountain/snowflake emblem on them. Thats what you want for a serious winter tire. They are retreads, and affordable, but the rubber is soft and they wear quick.

I have Goodyear Wranglers on my GF's '01 jeep GC, oversize look GREAT. Fine in rain and dry, suck on snow (half worn, all season). Fat tires float great on sand or mud (where there is no bottom), but for snow, skinny tires with aggressive tread will cut down through the snow to pavement and go.
