I like michelin myself.
Studded is better.
As for weight my wife weighs over 400 pounds so I put her in the back.
Do not go around curves too fast though that causes here to move around and causes a loud knocking squealing noise from the back.
The first time I heard it I thought I tore out the rear end.
Well I sorta did, but not the trucks.

I just have the Wrangler RT/S's and two hundred pounds of sand strapped into place in the rear of the truck bed.
My girlfriend only weighs 125 or so so I can't use her. In fact, I only weigh 163 so together we're only 288. I figure the 8 dollars I spent on sandbags would be cheaper then feeding her enough till she got to 400.

I figured the 400 pounds would be enough to hold her still, but no go.
I solved the problem though, 2 of those cargo bars keeps here pretty tight against the inside of the tailgate.

LMAO!! OK ....I was going to sound off with something about over feeding my wife..etc but you all already made me laugh enough. 
Harborbreeze has the right idea. I used 2x4's though to frame out the center of my bed so my 300lbs of sandbags wouldn't go anywhere. I have used BFG's All Terrains before and they worked fantastic in the snow. Unless you have studs or spikes..nothing works on ice.
I am running Procomp All terrains now so we will see how they do this winter. I also keep a set of cable chains in the truck in case we have really deep snow, but in March of 2003, we got 49 inches of snow in 24 hours and the BFG's got through without chains. Hopefully the Procomps will do the same.
