My ‘21 Willys Sport now lives on an island and rarely will go over 45 mph for the rest of its life.
The island had asphalt with many potholes and 35% will be on dirt/gravel roads and parking spaces will be on sharp craggy coral. The island is Bonaire if anyone here is a diver they may know it.

looking for the toughest tire to withstand the beating it will be taking.
Any recommendations? Guidance on what I should be looking into?

keeping stock size is ideal but willing to change if needed.

My Cooper STT Pro have held up well for our abuse consisting of 30% off road time.......we have right at 30k on them right now and I'd say 1/3 tread left?

Toyo M/T is also tough as nails.

Bonaire, like off Venezuela?

I would just buy what the locals buy if that's the case, supply streams are a different animal in those situations.

if something other like USA base, just get some BFg AT and call it done.

Yes that’s they spot. Everything is imported so there isn’t a local supplier or anything like that. I bring everything in through Miami.

get some BFG AT's and call it done. I would just burn up the stock tires first though.

I put 24k miles on it before importing it to the island and the first week in got a puncture. I’m hoping to find something stronger to handle the conditions. Plenty of tread left but want to either swap to a stronger set or at least have a set waiting to swap on if needed.

It's a tire developed for the mining industry that was then made available for consumer retail.
