Profile suggests you may have 17" rims. So as Dunc has suggested if you will be off-roading much and are on your cars original rims. You could go Cooper ST or STT. I did 2 LR experience days on standard road rubber so don't be too worried about off road performance of regular Wranglers or the like . . .
I used a set of Wranglers off-road before they were worn enough to justify some STT's - lovely !!!!!"To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

If thats the case and if you are on 17's then stick with the GY Wranglers or Continental Contact 4X4's.If you ever do need to get your boots wheels dirty they'll be more than adequate.

Cooper HT+s are probably the best wearing ones, good puncture resistance too.“There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I use the same wheels on my S as yours would have (17" 5 split spoke) as I got a whole load with new tyres going cheap cheap! Continental 4x4 Contact get my vote, not as vague as the 18" or 19" Scorpions, better over bumps and I get 20k from a set when changed with just over 3mm of tread left. Used for greenlaing and are tough as old boots. Keep your eyes open on fleabay for a set of new take off wheels & tyres, give you a full set of new rubber, full sized spare & flog the other 3 as full sized spare. Expect to pay between £200 & £300 for a set (incl wheels). Sorted!
