Tire shopping

I have a 2002 Explorer XLT - need new tires - have had Michelin in the past and most recently General Grabbers which I was not happy with. They only lasted 2 and 1/2 years. I have 130,000 miles on the car and it runs great but not sure if I want to invest in Michelin again. Any suggestions? Toyo Open Country or Continental cross Contact LX20? Appreciate any input

Are you looking for a A/T, or something more aggressive or more street friendly?

I ran Goodyear Forterra's for the past two years. They were a great tire and were great in the snow for being more of a street tread.
