Well, I had the same problem, as well as thousands of others I expect. First off, dump the badyears, second off, I ended up eating the cost of alignment and tyres. I am happy however with the 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers I purchased. 10k on them so far, and I just rotated them. I'm hoping to make it to 60k before having to replace them (put them on at 22k). Keep in mind rotating them ever other oil change will increase wear life. (balance them also). I just replaced brakes all the way around (32k) with EBC brakes and rotors at the front was worn down. Hopefully i'm done for a while..
