Jeep with bad traction...help?

Find a tire shop that can "sipe" your tires.It's farely inexpensive. New technology shows that siping tires give far better traction on wet/ snow covered roads by making more grip edges. They basically cut lines across your tires traction side to side making way more edges. The best part is you get more life out of your tires because it also keeps them cooler, and you can stop a lot better. Check your tire pressure, too, you might have too much pressure. It'll tell you on the side of the tire what the max pressure is but 35lbs is plenty on your jeep. It also should say on the drivers door by the door latch. It sounds like a BFG AT would be a good tire for you, plenty traction, but not too luggy to where they just wear too fast. Look at tire rack.com, they do tests on all types of tires and have a lot of really good reviews and videos.
