Default Snow/Sharp Rock Tires

Hello, I recently bought an 05 ranger 4x4 that currently has A/T tires. I am looking to get tires that perform better in snow and on sharp jagged rocks. I live on B.C. west coast and in the mountains we can get 4+ feet of snow so driving in a foot or two is important in the summer lots of the roads are made with blown rock (like a bunch of 4 inch daggers) Wondering if any of you could direct me in the right direction. I am also in University so I don't want anything crazy expensive but I am not gonna cheap out either. Thanks in advance

I've been a huge fan of my hercules tires, Not sure bout snow, but they've performed very well off road for me.

I've had good luck with my Duratracs in deep snow. Can't really comment on their puncture resistance, however I've never had a flat with them.

You'll want a tire with a 3 ply sidewall if you want something more puncture resistant

Oooh I'll definitely check them out thank you. Maybe I can get them with thicker walls. My dad has the Toyo M-55's on his F-350 and they have been great but I think they are a bit big for a ranger.
