New Tires?

I am getting ready to replace my Cooper LT 31x9.50s. I've already got 20000 on them and they're dang near bald. I rotate religiously, alignment is good, and don't burn 'em. I drive a ton of gravel and I'm sure that contributed to their short life. Does anybody have any suggestions on a tire that wears good on gravel? I'd like to get 33x12.50s with fairly aggressive tread. Any help would be appreciated.
