Turbo,

You don't have many choices in that size so I would look into the Michelin Defender which will likely have the lowest cost/mile to run due to the $70 Michelin rebate and the 90,000mile tread wear warranty. I bet it would trail slightly behind the GY Fuel Max and the Bridgestone B381 but it should outperform them and last a lot longer. The B381 is old school, super expensive and doesn't last long which eats up the potential savings in fuel it has over the Defender or FuelMax tire.
