Two other suggestions, both of them LRR, which I was not aware were available in your size -- the Nokian eNTYRE, an all season that looks to me like it would be more secure in the winter than the Defender and certainly tests better with Consumer Reports for winter driving than the Defender; and the Nokian WRG3, an "all-weather" all season tire which will boost winter grip especially on ice over the enTYRE and any other all season at the expense of slightly increased summer wear and needing to be rotated more often. The eNTYRE has a 75000 mile warranty, the WRG3 55000. If you go with the WRG3, however, you'll want to make sure it's the asymmetrical tread; some of their smallest sizes are directional which provide fewer options on rotation.
