Time for tires

My trusty Bridgestone HP41 Potenzas have finally worn beyond the repair limit. Got a flat this morning that my tire guy would rather not fix. (The tires are over 95% worn, about 80k miles.)

I have had great luck with Bridgestones and wouldn't mind getting them again except for two things:
1. The current equivalent to the HP41 is, I believe, the RE92 (or 93?). Nice, but "looks" tall and round. I would prefer a more flat, square profile.
2. I am also an avid off-roader and Bridgestone has recently supported some policies that I just can't agree with. Odd, considering they also make off-road tires. Many in the OHV community are calling for a boycot.

How about Yokohama? I've heard good things but also that they may have quality problems.

Any suggestions for a daily diver? No autocrossing (yet). Looking for 205/60-15.

TIA

Get some BFG A/Ts

I have a Kelly tire on mine. I like them. They seam to handle good, and they have good rain traction. I would buy them again.
