Default Switching Tire size
I own a 2006 Silverado LT, 2WD Crew Cab. The stock tires are 245/70R17, but I'm looking at 265's. I travel the highways and seldom do any off-road travels. I'm looking for a smooth ride and better MPG; average MPG on my 245's are 18 Hwy.

Which would be a better tire? I am purchasing new tires very soon.

18 MPG isn't bad for a pickup like yours. If you are not off-road, you might get a bit better mileage with standard M&S street tires.
