This is very subjective, but I have been pleased with BFG K02 for light off roading, highway, and snow.
K03 are coming, and should be available next time I need tires in 3 years or so.

The same ones that are the worst for traction.

I was a tech at a shop that sold tires. Hankook and BFG were the best tire for the money, casings were round and didn't need as much weight as some other brands. Have a set of each on 2 SB. Both are quiet and work decent in all but extreme conditions.
Will say this however, neither stop very well on ice. Actually, wish one set was Blizzaks, but those wear rather fast and not suitable for summer highway use.

The thing that helps stop best on ice is a lot of distance between you and what you might hit when you apply the brakes, short of studded tires

Used to be a studded tire fan until I tried a set of Blizzaks for the daily driver. Whatever the tread is made out of works. Michelin has another ice tire but haven't tried those. Only use that car about 5 k a year so I leave them on year round. Have been getting 25 k miles out of a set. They are becoming expensive. Like everything, I guess.
