Ok I have 2001 Dodge Durango 4x4 RT
I need new tires
The tires I have on are NOT stock or the recommended size.
I consulted the manual and it said to check inside the drivers door.
The size on the sticker there said p235 75 15
When looking for tires I found that 275/60-17 was the recommended size??
OK, I want good mileage. I don't care about much else.
What are your recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

275/60/17 I just put on cooper discovery ht. Very quite with a great ride, way better than the goodyear triple treads. They work well on wet grass, snow, ice, and light mud well so far.. I have a 2000 durango r/t and im not going "MUDDIN" although it is tempting... Just my opinion. by the way $744.00 for all 4 mounted balanced and tax

Try www.TireRack.com for more options and opinions.
I have the standard 31x10.5x15 size and bought the Michelin LTX M/S. This transformed the ride from a hard truck to a more softer one, though it still is a truck. And they are great in ice and snow (I live in Minnesota!).
The General Grabber ATS have great ratings for price vs. performance. You may just want to check what is available in the size you need.

I was able to get a better price from http://www.discounttiredirect.com
because the shipping was free. My local shop mounted & balanced them for me at a good price as well.

Your R/T should have come with 275 60 r17's factory. You should replace them with the same size.
As for your next question (what kind)?
Well that is entirely up to your style of driving and conditions. Do you off road, Do you tow, do you get snow and ice, do you drive in a lot of hot temp's, is cost an issue?
The more you can answer the better we can direct you on what to buy. Just remember, there isn't many tires options out there in that particular size, but you can still get a good tire with good warranties.
