Howdy Everyone (ok ill stop with the Texan chatter)

I am the proud new owner, or soon to be since its being trucked over right now, of a 2011 Element EX 4WD and would like some suggestions on some modifications I would like to do pretty soon.

First off here is how this vehicle will be used so hopefully yall can give me some directed suggestions.

The Element will be a daily driver first and foremost and beyond that I will be taking it through some light off roading to get to some of my favorite camping spots and to the beaches down here nearly every weekend from March to September.

So I would like some suggestions on good all year / beach / off roading tires and whether or not going to 18" or 20" rims would limit my choices of better tires.

Thanks
