Wheel/Tire recommendation for Highway/Street driving

I have a 2000 XLT extended cab and with the stock 16" rims. It's about time to get some new tires and was wondering whats a good tire/rim combo for mostly highway and street driving. I was thinking a nice light rim would help reduce rotating mass and maybe help out on mileage and torque pickup. I heard the BFG Dueler A/T and H/P tires where good. If you guys could give any wheel or tire advice it would much appreciated.

Do you have a 4x4 or 4x2? Also, the Dueler series is made by Bridgestone, not BFG.

I would look at the BFG Long Trail. I have heard some good things about this tire.

I'd suggest a 16x8 aluminum wheel with a 265/70-16 or 265/75-16 tire. The Bridgestone Dueler AT (or AT Revo), BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler or Toyo Open Country AT would be a good choice.

Street/Highway

If you dont go off road or anything then I would not buy all terrain tires. You up the price for those capabilities. There are a lot of options out there look on the tirerack website.
