I've learned that having 10 steer tires is by far the best way to go.
1) If you lose a front tire you can move a drive tire up front.
2) rotate all ten at once, more even wear.
3) no lugs to pick up 1000's of fricken rocks.
It's a bit more expensive but I'm happy with the results over the years.BoxCarKidd, W923 and tj379 Thank this. -

W923 and Diesel Dave Thank this. -

I like the Michelin X-Line Energy for fuel mileage. BTW, closed shoulder get better fuel mileage. Open shoulder is better for muddy and snow. Michelin are pricy, I've gotten better fuel out of their latest and greatest compared to anything else. The catch is you need to slow down more to get the $$$. Otherwise, if you like to run 70mph +, supposedly they aren't worth the extra $$. I've heard good things about Yokohama-good value.
