Here in Iowa, we get our share of snow and ice, so I had this same issue when I bought tires a year ago. The biggest thing you want to look for is siping in the tread. Siping is the small "cuts" in the tread blocks that provide a lot of extra grip in winter driving conditions. Very few M/T's have siping, but most A/T's do.

Around here, I see a lot of BFG A/T's, Terra Grapplers and Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. Very few people run Revo's, most likely because of cost. Looks like you're on the right track...just look for siping.
