    I currently have stock Bridgestone Dueler 265/65/17 tires and will be needing to get new tires soon. I'm thinking of going up a size for a different look/ride to a 265/70/17. I have 3 options:

    Bridgestone Dueler 684
    Bridgestone Dueler 840
    Toyo OPHT

    Any suggestions and why?

    I am of the opinion that the Bridgestone Duelers are poor tyres where grip is concerned. If I had too choose I would give the Toyo a try.

    Tyres that I would recommend that are not on this list for highway driving would include
    -Kumho Road Venture APT KL51
    -Maxxis Bravo 750/760/770
    -Michelin Cross Terrain SUV Tyres H/T

    Honestly can't speak for the longevity of the Kumho's but the grip is decent. The other tyres I have used for longer and I like them

    Just as a benchmark I currently have the Dueler 840's on my truck and I absolutely hate the lack of grip

    I recommend the Michelin M/S2's. They are pricey but were a great all around tire (highway biased).

    Cooper Discoverer HTP - 65k warranty, great "bang for your buck" tire.

    Michelin LTX MS2 - 70k warranty, Cadillac of SUV tires. Very pricey, but you're pretty likely to get the full guarantee out of them.

    Michelin Latitude Tour - 60k warranty, built to be fuel efficient, quiet, soft ride.

    I'm a huge fan of Michelin, but if you're looking to get the most for your dollar, I would highly recommend the Coopers.

    I have around 70K on my LTX MS2's. I forget what I had before, but the difference has been night and day. Great tires for the hwy. I am looking to get some new tires soon and have been looking at the Toyo AT2's and the HT's besides the michelin at2 and ms2's....
