Yea, dedicated winter tires are generally better than an all terrain, but they dont last very long... but that'* why they're winter tires.
I'm thinking that the winterforce tires should do the trick, and they have them in the right size...
Anything with good siping, soft rubber, and lots of sharp edges works well as a snow tire.
The Grabber AT2'* are as good or better than the BFG AT'* they replaced on my WJ. And, they were $40 cheaper each.

You want to stay narrower width for winter tires. I'm not a fan of General tires. I had some (non-snow) and they wore out so fast. I had Kelly Powerking Plus snow tires on my Lumina. They were great for snow but there are probably some better ones out there for icy conditions. I used them 4 winters and they still have decent tread on them. They saw very little dry road in the winter though, so that was probably part of the longevity. Those winterforce do look good!

As a winter only.. it'll treat you right. What kind of driving do you do in the winter...long highway commute to work?

And don't wear well from what I've seen. They do a good job in the snow.
I run Dean Wintercat XT'* in the winter. The tread pattern is so aggresive, and it works very well in the winter. Winterforce are awesome tires. Have heard lots good about the tires.
The wintercat XT'* are not avalible in most areas except atlantic canada, from what I know. I will post a picture of what they look like when I can.

Toasty.. learn how to quote buddy.. looks like I said that..lol
(I had to look to see if I did )
One thing I never skimp on is tires. Yes..I like a good price and great deal.. Cost savings are never a good thing when you have slid off the road and gotten hurt.
Cost savings vs blood and pain... there'* no real comparison.
