Okay, so several of you have seen my thread about the Tahoe MPG with 20's and 17's. I'll still test out the MPG difference between wheels but I'm pretty positive the 17's are going on which means I'll need new tires.

This is the size tire I'm looking for. I may have overestimated my wife's annual mileage in the last thread. Instead of 28K a year it's more like 21K a year. All of that is 85-90% highway driving to work and 10-15% is city. I live in OK so the summers get up to 110 and the winters can get down in the single digits. She won't be taking the Tahoe off road but last year we had record snow falls with terrible road crews to clear it off so I do want something that will do well in the snow.
I plan on buying Firestone Destination ATs which is what have on my truck. I've got 50K on those currently with even wear and 7/32 of tread left. Plus, they are awesome in the rain, snow and mud.
But, since she drives mostly highway she may be able to get buy with a Highway All Season tire so I'm looking for other suggestions. Price is not an option, when it comes to wife and kiddo I will stress for a week or so on TireRack reading reviews so I want the best tires possible. Considering the Michelin LTX MS/2 right now unless you can recommend others. I had the Yoko Parada Spec-X on the previous CX-9 but I thought those were wearing faster than they should but otherwise a great tire.
