I don't know how to read this... Do you like the tires? Are they noisy? Do they stay in balance? Have you gotten stuck? Are they are hard ride, soft ride? Do the tires roll when you corner hard?

Wow, that's a tough one.  You face some divergent conditions that are tough to serve with a single tire.  The competing ones being hardpack/ice performance vs deep mud performance.  If it were me I think I'd look at two things:

1- how often REALLY do I face each type of condition?

2- what would be my alternative, or what might happen if the tire reached it's limits?

You might find that one set of circumstances is faced more often, or one is more easily avoidable or handle-able with a sub optimal tire, or one has severe consequences at the limit.  Brutal honesty with your own needs and wants is the only way to handle this.  You're familiar enough with the performance of some possible tire choices.  Now it's down to WHY you should choose which one, and only you can perform that exercise.

I don't face deep mud very often at all, but I do like to have the off-road capability when I want it, and winter driving in the Rockies is a bizarre mix where I may have to drive 5-6 miles of hardpack and ice, but then reach a road that's clear and dry that I have to then drive for 20 miles.  Dedicated snow/ice tires burn up too fast on the proportion of dry roads I see in winter.  Most AT's pack up in the deep snow that I have to wade through 5-6 times a year.  I don't need a mud terrain tire and siped mudders are not as good as factory designed sipes.  And then also important, I drive the car 20k+ miles a year, so the tires have to last.

I've been through Dunlop, Cooper, BFG, Michelin, Bridgestone, and Goodyear in various forms and styles.  The ones I'm happiest with are the ones I'm about to by a second set of for the G - BFG Commercial T/A - Traction.  This tire took the place of the workhorse "TracEdge" tire when that one was discontinued a few years back.  For me they've worked fabulously in the snow and ice, even when half worn (the BFG A/Ts I ran were good in snow to start, but when half worn were not good at all), the lug shape and spacing works to shed mud and deep snow when I need to, and they held up for two solid years, and I wouldn't be replacing them now if I could drive another 6 months of wet/dry roads.  The trouble with the ComTrac's is they're not offered in many sizes.  I was THIS close to going to a BFG M/T in order to get a 255/85 (I run 235/85-16 now), but my decision analysis just couldn't support it over the performance of the ComTrac's.

For an AT tire that handles deep snow and ice well, Cheryl really loves the Bridgestone REVO AT's on her awd Astro.  She had them on her range rover before that and loved them there too.  I "gave" away a near new set of those tires when selling that truck and had to go out and buy her a new set for the Astro before the next winter.
