Hey guys,

I searched, but only got a debate on wether or not rolling diameter affects MPG's and such.

Got an '02 X that's coming up on needing new tires. I am usually on the highway 99% of the time so I don't need AT's or MT's. Any recommendations on a good high mileage tire?

Michelin LTX A/T2

I used to have a set of these and they did great on the highway and in snow and bad weather. They also were okay off road, but not the greatest off road.

I got up to 18MPG on them on the highway....but it depends on your driving style and other things more than tire brand. Where you will lose MPG with tires is when you go to larger (and heavier) tires.

why don't you tell us whether you want to match the stock size or go up a size.

i just changed my tires. i put an all season instead of all terrain as i do not use the all terrain. i had them changed at costco and put the Michelin Latitude Touring 265/70R16 Black Wall.
