Have you tried Nexen Roadian AT tires?
Search funtion turns up a few threads on the highway tires, but I don't see any on the AT. They get pretty good reviews elsewhere -- and are cheap, which might be a good thing or a bad thing :B. The...

Here is the post I couldn't get to stick last night, which talks sbout what I need in a tire:
I don't need tough or long lasting. I don't drive a lot of miles. (I will not put 20k on them.) I do drive dirt and gravel roads, but I grew up doing that on old highway tires and I am sure any AT would be fine for me. .
What I do need are tires that are good in rain (often) and ice (sometimes) at freeway speeds. The reviews say these are pretty great for both. But I am not sure what the reviewers are comparing them to -- old, bald, highway tires? Or other ATs?
I have BFG KO2's on my current van. But they are so expensive! So I am scouting other options, and among cheap ATS these stood out in the reviews.
Didn't see any of them comparing to BFGs, tho, which is what I REALLY would like.
Many here responded to the topic mostly in terms of use for TC & truck applications. Are you still using these for your van application? If so, then weight carrying capacity might be less of a concern than those who do put a big concern on that aspect.
If you need the extra load Index for weight, then I am a big fan of Nitto Terra Grappler with LI=126 in a 285/17. I get about 30K miles from a set, good tread... but they are a bit pricey ~$250 each out the door with M&B and disposal.
