I do nearly 100% street driving, the closest thing to a "trail" being National Forest service roads. As such I would fall into the small category of people interested in highway tires, at the stock size of 31x10.5r15 there is little to none in the way of highway tires and as such I'm switching wheel size to the oem 16 found on the "off-road" (Y-spoke wheels). My tire options then are as I understand them to be, a 265/70r16, or more preferably (for fuel economy reasons) a 245/75r16.
My questions:
Is the Michelin LTX the best there is to offer or is the a better highway all season?
Is 245 too narrow? Will it look dumb?
Is going higher on the load rating worth the money or should I stick with load C?
And lastly,
If there's anyone out there running highway tires of a similar size on an 4x4, what are you running (tire and size) and what would you recommend?
