Question Help - Which brand tire should I buy?

After reading what seems to be a zillion tire reviews on Tirerack.com I have narrowed my choice down to the following 4 tires. It's a 4 way tie!

I need your advice on which ones I should go for , maybe you have them on your truck or know someone who does.

This is for a 1979 Jimmy 2wd. I am staying with 15" X 8 rims

Yokohama Avid S/T
Firestone Indy 500
Bridgestone H/L ALenza
Yokohama H/T S-G051

They all rate well and I don't really want to let price determine my choice.
They will only be used in dry and wet conditions.( no snow where I live)

The first 2 are more a car/suv tire whereas the second 2 are suv/truck. I will be driving tarseal roads , mainly highway. I need good handling tires.

NEXT QUESTION.

I am going either 235 or 255 - your opinions on which one and why or should I go 275 at the back - will it make a handling difference?

Thanks guys, in advance , hope I don't have to pick one out of a hat to decide!
