Check out the Nokian tires.
Cheaper than the Michelins and very good tires.
I have the Nokian Rotiiva HT All-Season Radial Tire - 225/75R16 112S on my GMC and couldn't be happier.
Quiet, good grip, long life. Also made with canola oil, so better for the environment.
There should be a version for your Sprinter.
From Amazon:
The Nokian Rotiva HT tire is a highway tire for SUVs with a new high modulus tread compound that grips and lasts a long time. The Nokian Rotiva HT tire has Nokian Tire's patented silent groove and silent sidewall technology. These technologies ensure that noise generated by the tire is minimized for a quiet, comfortable ride. This strong light truck tire is reinforced for heavy SUVs, and trucks with a tread design and tread pattern for excellent on-road wet and dry traction. The Nokian Rotiiva HT tire is also an tire that meets the strict European and North American standards for rolling resistance. This means better fuel economy and savings at the gas stations.

A specific aside for Dave (the OP), if you are still planning a bonsai run, P tires might get you a little more tank range and thus get a little longer between stops.

Matt, thanks for all that. very informative as usual. I'm gonna sell the coach with the best tires i can put on it, probably Michelin LTX or something like that.
I was really wanting to get smart on this topics for my 2006 Sprinter- it is SO NOISY and i want to eliminate every bit of sound I can trim and I think P tires might help.
1977 Kingsley 455 as stock as it gets except lots of Ragusa parts
