i would suggest a good all-terrain type tire. Yokohama Geolandar is a good model. also have a 40,000 mi. warranty. you can also buy (off)road hazard protection for $16 per tire, good for 5 years from:
www.discounttirewarehouse.com
AT tires have beefed up sidewalls, and have more plys...you never know when the rain or snow is going to fly. is there much snow where you are? those type of tire look like they are begging for a disaster, if there is.
another tried and true AT tire is the Goodyear Wrangler AT, or Cooper Discoverer...
i also, value my life, so i would never buy a firestone or bridgestone tire...
