I've got tread wright's on my pickup, the high temps this week were 9-10 deg. and I haven't had a single problem. I'm running 285/75 17's
they are molded after the BFG T/A KO. the all terrain that BFG has been making for years, square shoulder no side tread to speak of. side lugs are only noticeable in deep mud. no help in snow, or rocks really. if you don't have beadlock rims you shouldn't be airing down past 18psi in rocky terrain anyhow.
for a DD that sees less than 100 miles of off road a month I'd stick with an AT tire.
I really like Yokohama Geolander AT. the tead doesn't look as aggressive as the duratrac but I've had three sets on different vehicles and have always gotten great performance and mileage.
I'd even go as far to say save your money a little longer and look for a good deal on the BFG T/A KO. proven to last, great traction off road, excellent on road, look great.
they run $194 for your size.

I just bought Maxxus Buckshot XMT for my 2010 Wrangler sport. They are a pretty aggressive all-terrain tire that is quite on the highway. As long as you rotate them you should get at least 40,000 miles out of them.

I don't do much mudding / off-road (for shame), but will tell you the 32" DuraTrac's were absolutely OUTSTANDING in the ice storm we got in DFW last week. I was amazed at how well they gripped the ice. I'd spend the money again in a heartbeat.
