Black round ones. Must be 1000’s of tyre sellers and retailers in the country. Vehicle also typically come with a multitude of wheels sizes these days. And you haven’t provided any details or wants.

Bear in mind that the contact area of each tyre is about the size of your hand, so you need good, grippy stuff to keep 2.5tonnes where it should be. Low quality & price 'Ditchfinders' will not be ideal. It also depends on how / where you do those 2500 miles, if motorway, then (IMO) Pirelli or Continental will give you low noise, good roadholding & wet weather performance, and good fuel economy. If mainly low energy commuting, then Falken are probably the best bet.
The other thing to bear in mind is that if there are long periods where it'll be parked up, then flat spots on the tyres will occur, you can minimise this by increasing the tyre pressure by 15psi - and reducing before you use on road.

Thank you. I was going between Nexen and Bridgestones. Really appreciate your reply.

Looks do not provide good wet road grip, long service life or a smooth quiet ride, the Nexens do all that at a good price. They are not off road tyres but are all season M&S so in France can be used in the Alps in winter.
I have these on my l322. They were great in the snow but now i don't rate them. They are 'ok' but not great in the wet
