I'm currently looking in the 255/65/18 size for my wife's traverse. I think I have settled on these.

I have had Cooper Discoverer HTP's in the past, great tire. Also 2 sets of General Gmax tires. I find the performance per dollar is very good with those brands. As others have said, lrr may save gas but they won't necessarily save you money if you have to replace them more often.
