Options for tougher tire for 92 Legacy Wagon

[randall_burns]

I have a 92 Legacy Wagon. I live on a rather rough gravel road and I've
had a problem with my tires wearing out. I'd like a to
1) get the most durable tire possible
2) If I get a little better ground clearance, that would ahve
advantages for me too

What are my options without going to a lift kit?

In addition to asking here, I know several of the guys at
www.ultimatesubaru.org will have experience with lift kits.

And there are also 'coil-over' struts that will allow some lift.

lift kits strike me as a fairly pricey option. Just from poking
around, we are looking
at $600 for a lift kit-another $600 for installation _plus_ shopping
around for bigger tire rims-and heavier tires.

And there are also 'coil-over' struts that will allow some lift.

That strikes me as potentially more "bang for the buck"

the coil over struts strike me as pricey-but they have some
"adjustable" struts here
http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/susp.htm
that are $120 each. I suspect installation would be fairly economical
too.

The main goal here is to get to the point that I can use a heavier
tire. I'm not doing a lot of "off road" stuff(though I might do a
little more backroad stuff if my vehicle were more suited to it). the
major goal is to get tires suited to my road. I'm lucky to get 40% of
what tires are rated on my road, which is a 4 mile gravel road.

Thanks!
