Default New Tires Question

So right now I have 285/75/17 Toyo open country AT II on my rig.
They have 75% tread and appear to be wearing even, just had them rotated and balanced.
Traction with these is not good at all, I can't even take off from a stop sign when the pavement is wet with spinning.
Snow, same thing.
So what is a good AT tire that is also gas mileage friendly?

Not sure the minor difference in tire weight would make that much difference on gas mileage.

Find the tire that is best rated for what you want to do with it, and don't worry about the rest.
