I also have a Santa Fe with 235/60R18H tyres - the OE Kumho Solus KL21 are poor in winter as the compound is too hard to give decent grip in cold, wet conditions. Like the OP, it's used on wet fields and unsurfaced tracks.
I'll be fitting Vredestein Quatrac 3 SUV which are All-season and have M+S and "3 peak" winter rating - their UTQG is 400AA so should give reasonable life.
The UTQG rating are a requirement for North America, not here, but are very useful in comparing projected tyre life - by comparison:-
Kumho KL21 > 500AA
Vredestein Quatrac 3 SUV > 400AA
Michelin Latitude Tour HP > 440AA
General Grabber UHP > 360AA
Goodyear Wrangler HP AW > 440AA
Dunlop Grandtrek Touring AS > 200AA
Pirelli Scorpion Zero > 300AA
