Opinions on best "lite" AT tire?

I need to get new tires for my new-to-me SUV. I don't want to go
aggressive; I don't think I will even go as aggressive as a BFG AT. It has
Michelin AT's on it now but they will need replacing soon and since I bought
it with them fairly worn out I don't know how they perform, really. My
priorities are as follows:
-wet pavement
-snow and ice
-durability and ride quality
-mud
So you can see mud is way down there, but I really need wet pavement and
packed snow and ice performance. It's a heavy vehicle so I'd like the tire
to be reasonably strong since I wll be on rocky dirt roads, but I DO NOT
want to put gnarly knobby tires on there; I have MT/R's on my TJ but this
vehicle needs just plain ol' wussy AT's.
What would YOU put on a Cherokee used for groceries, camping trips, ski
trips, etc?

I like my BF Goodrich AT KOs, the first tires I could hear my
stereo with, in fact practically no tire noise at all. They are made by
Michelin which is the only thing I don't like about them. Consumer

I'm pretty impressed with Bridgestone Dueler Revo's
Quit smooth ride, darn good traction on snow.
Although not "that" great in slick mud

BFG AT KO's, I put them on both my Cherokee and my Grand. Low noise,
excellent wet/dry traction, really good in snow and mud when needed. I live
in Virginia and we get snow/ice/mud every year, the rest of the time it's
just wet and these are the best tires I've found yet.
