Unless you're doing "off-roading" avoid the A/T (all terrain) tires, they make too much noise for me on the road.

I a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza tires on both my daughters Explorer and my Expedition and couldn't be happier. These are "all season" (M+S) tires and ride well with good traction winter and summer. I have no fears about her driving home from college in Central Pennsylvania to NE Ohio in the winter. They tow my camper well too.

I took a new set of Goodyear Wranglers off her first SUV a couple of years ago (before she got my Explorer via trickle down). They were so bad I considered them unsafe for her to drive.
