If you live in the UK, I'd advise just getting all terrain tyres. The general consensus is that they're the best all rounders for 4x4's in the UK. Jack of all trades, master of none. Ideal given that the UK has such diverse weather conditions.
Also, I don't know what you mean by "road bias" as winter tyres are also 100% road bias. :/ They're not at all suitable for off roading. They puncture far more easily.

Totally agree with Rich and can speak with some experience, BFG ATKOs are by a country mile the best all rounder IMHO.

i have heard that winter tyres are no good in this country as the uk isn't cold enough for them to work properly as they are designed for realy cold countries.
i have just switched over to my winter tyres ( insa turbo sahara's ) which are an off road / mild road tyre ( 80 / 20 ) but this will be the first winter i have tried them and havn't had any snow yet to ty them but will let you know when we do.

Would that be "winter" tyres or tyres fitted for the winter also don't believe all you hear.
Winter tyres will have a snow flake symbol on the sidewall, compulsory in some countries i.e. Germany in their snowy regions when I was there last winter police were checking vehicle tyres, the discos past inspection..
My Goodyear GT all season tyres (standard fitment on D1s) also has the symbol plus they are M+S.

Here in the snow country any of the AT, ATR ,all terrian (m&s) are the tyre of choice and work damn good, as they are rated as mud & snow read the fine print on the tyres. But the key is nothing works well on ice or icy roads except putting chains on. Don't know what all the fuse is about. Been driving 45 yrs
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ft dont forget apart from the last 3 years we havent had a proper winter for close to 30 years, so weve all got soft, the councils have sold all the 6x6 gritters and bought standard 4x2 light trucks to do the same job which they cant!
This winter is going to be proper ****

I used to run a rangey on Michelin xm&s and these were
brill in most conditions.
I was a AWDC member and have a trophy cupboard full.
RTV trials were my thing and I had great fun on what appeared
road tyres getting around very well and ****ed quite a few people
off.
Having a small block tread pattern made them good in snow as well.
The disco tyres have longitudinal ribs and no real block pattern.
No shoulder lugs either so very road bias.
And while I wont be off roading it I do want to be able to get out
of the village when it snows or offa wet field for that matter

Thats because your snow comes off of the water with a high moisture content giveing you bigger flakes and as it gets to eu has lost moisture and then thin finer snow. But all snow has the same % of water, like big rain drops and little rain drops
hi, what do you mean about "metalled road" i dont understand?
It's another word for "tarmac" really..it just means a road with a proper surface on.

remoulded at tyres are harder rubber than stock tyres. because they have used more plastic and carbon making of those. if u drive in deep snow like we in finland, then it doesnt matter. but in hard surface like icy roads, remoulded doesnt have that much friktion than stock tyres.
