See the all-terrain tire in the link below. This tire was developed for General Tire in Germany. It first came on the market in about 2004. It has a 60,000 mile warranty and in most sizes has 17/32 of an inch of tread, which is a lot of tread. It is NOT a snow tire. Its an all-terrain tire. Yet, like no AT tire I've seen, it has holes for studs, although only for 2 rows, instead of the usual 4 rows. If you Google for "general tire grabber at2" you'll get quite a few reviews, all of which praise the tire. I think that this is one of the best AT tires now available in view of the price, apparent traction capabilities, warranty, and the fact that it can be studded with two rows of studs. Note the tread pattern, which is VERY similar to the BFG All Terrain T/A KO that's so popular. Its cheaper, sometimes a lot cheaper, than most if not all of the currently most popular AT tires. For example, at Tirerack.com it costs $95 (not including shipping) for the 245/75R16 size, while the BFG All Terrain T/A KO is $145 at Tirerack.com.

Here's the Tirerack.com link to the tire. For some strange reason, the Tirerack description to the left of the pics of the tire does not in fact describe the tire, but you get all the other Tirerack info:
