If the tire is for year around, I would go with an all-terrain say a BFGoodrich a/t or the general grabber a/t is another good option.
If you are getting a set of dedicated winter tires for ice concerns, go with a studded snow tire. If for snow concerns go with a non-studded winter tire.

Goodyear Duratracs are very highly rated for snow. A ton of members of the local Toyota club run them and quite like them. The General Grabber AT2 tire also has the severe snow rating. I have a set of Kumho AT tires on mine right now and i quite like them.
Look for something that is siped. The thing about studs is it only increases your traction on ice. If your facing just snow, get the Duratracs. The advantage with them is they are studable, just like the AT2's.

I say go with the Duratracs, I have them and cant be stopped in snow. They arent really a M/T tire but more of a very aggressive A/T. And they also perform very well off road. They Arent much more than the AT2's but definitely worth it. They also have a lot better tread life than the AT2's

I have the Goodyear Authorities which are kind of like the Duratracs but the cheaper version. They are winter rated with the little snowflake on them. I haven't got a chance to play with them in the snow yet but all other conditions they are great! I know they only come in limited sizes so if they don't have what your looking for I say go Duratracs!
