Being that I am located in the northern Rocky Mountains, not sure if my recommendation would apply to Cashiers, NC.
However, we just put on a brand new set of 8-ply 20 inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Went with 8-ply to tow our 9,000 lb. travel trailer. Not sure if they offer this tire in a 22 inch size.
In my opinion this is the best all-around tire you can buy for our climate and terrain. Excellent off-road capability, 3-peak snow rating, excellent ice traction, does well on wet surfaces, and fairly quiet on the pavement for an all-terrain tire. The only downside is the softer rubber compound that gives better traction comes at the price of an accelerated tread wear rate.
But since my wife only puts on about 5,000 to 7,000 miles per year, accelerated tread wear is not a major concern.
