Question what tires should i get?

I have been thinking about some new tires, dont want to get replacement stock tires, i'd rather get an all terrain tire, something with an aggressive tread, plus winter is coming and so a tire that is good in the winter would be good, I replaced my STX wheels with FX2 wheels (265-60-R18).

Do you guys have any suggestions on which tire i should get, Something bigger then stock would be cool,

I have seen Nitto's alot around this site, whats the hype about those and would they work for me without rubbing?

Cooper Discoverer STT is what I went with. I LOVE THEM! Quiet, High mileage, great looking tire...couldn't ask for more.

The Toyo Open Country A/T and M/T's are great. I also like the BFG A/T TA's. The Coopers look good too.

I had TOYOs on my Dodge, 30K on them and they still had 65% of their tread left.

Rain/Wet Traction: 4
Dry Traction: 4.5
Loose Dirt: 4
Mud: 4.5
Wet Grass: 4
Snow: Haven't seen any yet.
