Best factory tires for road trip??

[unsocbl]

I'm going to drive about 3000 miles over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit friends/relatives. My current setup, Bridgestone Revo 3's in 315/7-17 Load E is great for everyday driving/weekend trail riding.
I'm thinking of picking up a takeoff set of wheels and tires specifically for this trip. They're failry cheap around here and I'm thinking the lighter weight/smoother ride will help immensely on the road trip. I'm down to 3 sets and just wanted to get opinons from those who actually use them if possible:
1. Overland takeoffs (Bridgestone Deuler HT's)
2. Sport takeoffs (Bridgestone Dueler AT's)
3. Wrangler Sahara takeoffs Bridgestone Dueler At's)

I'm sure the road mannerisms are fairly similiar but I'm leaning to the Overland takeoffs as I like the visual aspect and think the HT's will ride better. Opinons? Save the $$ for gas money and enjoy the more bouncy ride of the current setup?

I don't know if it makes a difference, but the rims on an Overland are usually 18 inch; I think the High Altitude are 20 inch, and the rest are 17 inch...... I'm not sure if the rubber will match....

Sorry, fixed my post. I'm thinking of getting a complete set of wheels/tires for the trip. Have a Tazer so changing the size won't be an issue

The Overland setup will probably be the best for road travel.

Yep, the Overland HT's or the Sahara AT's. 18" rim's and 32" tires on the Overland. I think the same for the Sahara.

I would suggest the Overland take-offs. I've got 26k miles on my factory set, many of those are highway travel.

I'll go with the HTs, as well.

Like everyone else said, Overland wheels and the 255/70/18's will do you just fine. Smooth and quiet. Just like mine
