Are there any DR nickel strings that have relatively high tension?

I'm looking into trying a set of DR strings, but the problem is that their more popular models are very low tension.
I'm hoping they make something that at least has medium tension.

They make different gauges of all their strings. If you want more tension, get thicker ones.

Lo-riders for sure

Larger gauges in whatever string line you prefer. DR DDT are stiffer but also have very large gauges available for higher tension.

Be aware that though lo riders are stiffer compared to other DR strings, I still find them more flexible than strings like Daddario and ghs boomers at the same gauges.

For me that's a good thing though.

As others already said several times, Lo Riders for sure.

Recommending a string line without mentioning gauges is meaningless.
Tension depends on string mass and so primarily gauge, but also to a degree on string construction.
However also, some string lines are 'stiffer' than others, and stiffness increases 'perceived tension'.
Be careful to not confuse stiffness and tension.

Assuming you want more 'perceived tension', keeping gauges the same while moving to a different string line might increase it slightly, but 'perceived tension' is a little subjective and depends on whether you are referring to plucking hand feel fretting hand feel.
It's more effective and reliable to increase your gauges by .005 or .010, either in a different string line or not.
