Default Need some tire input

I am looking for a 285/75/16 tire that is an all around good performer. Needs to be good in snow and occasional off road, but nothing severe. Needs to look like it belongs on a truck. I don't want a tire that looks like it belongs on a car. All suggestions welcomed and encouraged. I'd prefer not to break the bank, but willing to pay whatever it takes to get a good tire that will last a while. Thanks in advance.

Dont have personal experience in snow, but bfg all terrains get pretty good snow reviews and they do great in wet weather and off road traction, very puncture resistant and do ok in mud

I looked at BFG but it said they weren't rated for snow.
