I agree with all three above responses as to gearing/mpg effects of tire sizes. Take mccrews' advice too and study the tirerack.com specs lists more. My Michelin Defenders are great (they were also my only choice in 13" tires, but I might have chosen them anyway for the 15" wheels I considered buying for gearing purposes). IIRC, some of the LRR tires got really great ratings for durability in terms of miles traveled too. Good luck!
