Tires for SUV

We need tires for our 2000 Durango which are 235/75/15. We had summer Kumho tires on it in the California desert and loved them but after moving to Wisconsin have used all seasons. We bought winter tires last fall (it's 2wd) so I am looking for a similar set of summer tires but the model we had before aren't available any longer. Looking for a decent handling tire that has good treadwear and fuel mileage. When going from summer to all season our average dropped 1.5mpg. The Bridgstone Dueler Revo 2 looks like a decent tire but ours came with the old Duelers and they sucked but I have heard the new ones don't have the same rolling on granite issues. I like the Michelin tires as well but the Kumho's we bought we $50 less per tire than the Michelins at the time.

Both the Michelin and Bridgestone are running close to $150 each around here so it would be nice to save a little but I don't mind paying for them if they are that much better tires. Heck, I bought goodyear Bluestreaks for the Cobra because they are soo much better than any of the street tires available.

Opinions, I know you guys have them?
