Need to buy tires for my truck - Any suggestions?

I let my wife drive my 4WD yesterday. 😱
Today it only has air in three of the four tires - one sidewall has been ripped out. 🙁

They were pretty worn anyway so it looks like it's time to go shopping. Guess I know what I'm getting for Christmas!

I'm looking for a new set of 32/11.5/R15 tires, any HotDeals suggestions for tires or tire/wheel combinations? I found Discount Tire is offering free shipping right now. Has anyone dealt with them before or have any other advice? TIA, Boone.
 
If you lived in michigan, I could get you some deals, but i think you are too far away.

BTW, how did she do that to the sidewall?
 
What type of tires? Open lug, All-Season, Street??

In the summer I run some Yokahama AVS's in the Winter or when I go off-road I run some cheap open lug Fisk's I got from discount, so far both have handled great and the treadwear has been really good too.

I don't know how she did it exactly, we had a big snow yesterday (why I gave her the 4x4) and she said she had trouble making out the edge of the road. Near as I can figure she must have run off & hit something nasty. She didn't notice it when she did it, though. I knew something was wrong when she called me when she got home and said she couldn't pull up our driveway, even in 4 high. I told her how to get into 4 low and she was finally able to park. This morning when I headed out to the garage I found the right rear looking a little screwy, twisted around the rim. No wonder she had a hard time parking!

Mostly city driving, I'm looking at something like a Michelin LTX A/T. I'd like something quiet (a relative term, it's hard to get a quiet ride with foot-wide tires) but still have a decent tread for the occassional mud/snow usage. I'd say I run 80% dry pavement, 20% nasty stuff. But it's that 20% when a good tire makes all the difference. I just don't want to go deaf listening to Super Swampers droning while going 70 down the highway.
