What kind of tires for rough roads?

Most of my driving is on preaty rough back roads. Lots of potholes and gravel. I am about to buy some new tires to put on my stock 15 vert wheels. I'm looking for a tire that will work well on nice dry pavement but will really shine on secondary roads with below avarage surface conditions. The car is never driven in the rain or snow so wet and snow performance is not needed. I don't think a strickly off road tire would be best for me but maybe something that the rally guys use.

I'd recommend a nice soft touring tire that's V-rated. The V-rating tire has a softer, more compliant sidewall to increase ride comfort over bumpy, or rough roads. Do a search in the Tire Rack and see what the Rack comes up with for you...
