Time for new tires for my Sidekick

[FTG-05]

I bought my Sidekick almost 2 years ago this May. When I got it, the first thing I did was swap out the 25" OEM tires and replaced them with the 26" ITP Blackwater Evolutions that were on my old RTV-900.

Pic of the 25" EOM tires vs. 26" ITP Blackwaters:

One of my new hobby's in the last year is driving around my 1 1/2 and 2 lane rural roads picking up trash. This means a lot of road travel. Blackwater Evolutions and asphalt don't play well with each other and my ITPs are well worn. The fronts especially have almost all their tread gone (sorry, no pics).

The leading candidate I have right now are the Tusk TERRABITE Heavy Duty 8-Ply Radial Tire - 27x11-12 at about $150 each. Pic:

Any others I should be looking at? I don't do mud or hard rock trails, so offroad is secondary here. If it will go up my hills, I'm GTG.

Thanks,

I purchased some itp baja cross tires that have a similar tread pattern to those. They have served very well and have a lot of wear left on them. Only problem is that they discontinued that tire.
