I totally agree about the OEM Goodyears. They have VERY poor traction on anything other than dry pavement. I did run mine out to about 40K+ and then swapped them out for Kumho Crugen HT51 in the stock 275/60R20 size. I chose them because they were the only non-LT tire with the 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake rating. I also wanted to stay wit a P-rated tire to keep the weight down. That is the real enemy for ride and especially braking and acceleration. It didn't hurt that they're not all that expensive (certainly way less than the Michelins).
The improvement in wet traction was astounding and they are just as quiet as the Wranglers. I have only experienced snow with these a few times but they seemed to provide quite good traction on plowed roads with snow and slush.
I don't tow often so I can't comment too much on that. I did tow a moderate trailer that I rented to transport my Kubota tractor. Total weight was probably about 4,500 to 5,000 lbs. The RAM (probably any RAM) had no problem with that weight.
One upgrade I can recommend highly is the Falcon Tow/Haul shocks I installed recently. Not cheap but a huge improvement over the stock shocks and you can adjust the front height from stock to +1.5" to +2" (I chose the +1.5"). They also have three settings for the rear shocks that you change with a dial on the shock. 1 is for normal and 3 is for towing/hauling. 2 is moderate tow/haul and I used that when I was transporting the tractor. It worked very well but I don't really have a good comparison for towing with the standard shocks.
All of that put together looks like this:

Basically, for all around use and keeping all the good things about the stock truck as far as ride and handling but upgrading snow traction and towing capability, I think this might be a fairly good compromise.
Just my opinion.
