If you want a winter tire that is honestly the best combination of all terrain and true winter tire, the Bridgestone Winter Duelers are your tire. Huge, blocky, deep tread which is good for digging in snow and offroad, and lots, and lots of sipes for ice. They are directional so they are designed to channel snow, sleet, rain, etc. away too. I run these in the winter and they are excellent. I took the truck up north to go steelhead fishing in November of '05and had the truck offroad everyday in some pretty decent snow, and ran into a bit of ice here and there and they performed very well. As far as comfort/aesthetics/handling go, I honestly don't notice any real difference between how these tires perform and my Michelin LTX A/T which I run Spring, Summer, and Fall while driving on dry roads either which is pretty good.

goodyear rates these as their best snow tire for trucks/suvs. I'd just get these for 6 months out of the year.

of course i dont need snow tires. but then i dont need mt's either. i just like to have my vehicle perform the best possible in the worst conditions.
mt's cant hack it on the ice and we get lots of that around here

Having a set of dedicated snows is the way to go IMO if you can afford it...I hate having to chain up if the Oregon State Police have made it mandetory (don't have to with studs) when I head up to go snowshoeing or skiing on Mt. Hood.
I try to maintain adequate stopping distance but for some reason there is always a driver that feels the need to use the 2-3 second gap that you maintain has a way for them to get ahead...
Besides my philosophy is that if I avoid one accident, than the tires have paid for themselves in the form of not having to pay a deductible....
