Tires for Hwy/Commute-Rec's?

So I have these wannabe off road tires but i'm in an 21 SR5 2 wheel drive.
Need something more suited to Highway / long haul + fuel efficiency and quality road traction.

I've done some poking around but would like to hear from anyone who's had some good experience in this area with their tire choices.

I mainly use my Tundra for HWY either commuting to work occasionally or going Camping, taking my Seadoo GTX on long trips and the weight for towing is almost like towing a ghost as I can walk my ski on a trailer around.

Thanks !!!!

 

What kind of tires and mileage are you getting now?

chasing better fuel economy in these trucks is like pissing in the wind.

 

I'm in 21 2wd. I work in construction so I do some off roading. I like the Michelin LTZ M/S2. Same tires that came on my truck.

Quite and smooth on highway. I could have got about 70k out of first set. But then got sidewall damage on 2 tires so I bought a new set at 55k.

I average 15.6 MPG over 81k miles. I do idle alot more than normal because it's my work truck.

 

I got the Bridgestone Alenza Ultras from Costco. No complaints, nice quiet normal road tires since my truck doesn't go off road. They have been good in the snow as well. Came with an 80,000 mile warranty. So far I only have about 30,000 miles on them and they still look good.

 

Original Michelins LTX AT2s or if you're looking for even better mileage and wear Michelin Defenders

 

Top Tier:
Michelin Defender LTX
Continental Terrain Contact HT

Middle Tier:
Too many options to list.

Truthfully stay away from any all terrain. In order to for an AT tire to become efficient the manufacturer has to play a performance give and take game IMHO. Those two top tier tires will be superior to practically all AT tires for on the road use, rain, and light to moderate snow/ice.

I have the Michelin AT2 and they have been pretty good but they have done nothing better than the Defender LTX.

 

Michelin Defender LTZ M/S2 are where it is at. You can search this site for reviews on them or even your trusted search engine to confirm. If a street tire is what you are looking for, that tire is it.

I did see good reviews for the Continentals listed above, I just don't have first hand experience with them.
