A few things that influence gas mileage when it comes to tires are size, weight and rolling resistance. Going bigger will cost you gas mileage. Figure out what size you want and then start looking at weight at that size between different tires. Normally higher mileage rated tires have less rolling resistance due to harder compounds.

Also figure out what type of tread you want. There are some brands that offer pretty aggressive looking treads that aren't only offered for the mud terrains. And it's a good idea to know what load range you will be having on them to narrow down what you want...

When they finally wear out, I plan on replacing my stock Goodyear SR-As with BF Goodrich All Terrain TAs. This is the tire I always had on my '93 YJ before I traded it in after 19 years for my '12 JK. It's an excellent tire.

I second for the falkens. They're awesome. I was getting tired of my Baja claws. Of course they looked cool and aggressive, but for a daily drive they weren't for me. I made the mature decision for practicality over looks. The wild peaks made for a smoother ride and increased my MPG a bit too. It would of have been sweet to be rolling on some rockers but it didn't make sense with the amount of pavement driving I do. If you want good MPG then look at A/T tires. They may not be the most aggressive looking but its the closest to having your cake and eating it too.
