Skinnier "Truck" summer Tires are always better on the fuel. If you can find the goofball types that are real skinny with thick tread (similar to some trailers) you get even better.

My old diesel suburban lost about 3 mpg going to big winter tires, in my oppinion not worth it. After that I stuck to skinny tires.
