Tire/suspansion upgrade?

Tire/suspansion upgrade?
I just took my LR3 HSE (loaded with all available options) into the mountains for the first time. I had no problems with anything until I got above the snow line and hit more than 12" of snow on a 5% grade. Nothing was going to make those wimpy allseasons bite into that wet snow. I know I am going to have to get some real offroad tires and I have 2 questions:
1. Any susgetions on a good choice for proper tires?
2. I will have to go to a larger aspect ratio and there is not much more room for that in the wheelwells. Anyone know of a way to add list to the airbag suspension to allow larger tires?

RE: Tire/suspansion upgrade?
As far as tires and wheels, speak with Charles at www.roveraccessories.com. The company is located in Torrance, CA. Charles is the owner of the company and has a new LR3. He has developed some spacers to run 18 inch wheels which offer more tire choices. He ran 18s in Death Valley (not sure of the tires/size he chose) and was very happy. Saw the video of the LR3 doing its magic on some trails. Was pretty much unstoppable.
