The tread on all of them are down to practically nothing so I have to get another set of tires. Here's where I need some advice. If most of my driving is highway, commuting to work round trip 90 miles a day, and some light off-road use when I get a chance to go fishing with my boat, would you advise me to get 5 new Yokohoma HT/S or AT/S tires warranteed for 60,000 or 50,000 miles or put four Michelin tires LTX M/S2 or AT2 warranteed for 70,000 and 60,000 miles on it (keeping one of the Yokohomas as a spare)?

I never really liked the Yokohomas as they didn't wear very evenly but I had a car with Michelins that didn't wear very well either. I know car tires are different than SUV tires so I know that's not a good measure of the quality. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
