hedlesbrmstkbass · 09-24-2009, 10:12 PM

haha yeah on the freeway i rev at like 1500 at 55...

my tires are 29"

sormi · 10-18-2009, 07:10 AM

My 09 2.7L is getting 22-23 mpg in the city driving normal. Don't do much hiway driving.

supralight · 10-18-2009, 11:23 AM

With the colder weather here now in canada, I'm getting an average of about 20-21 mixed driving, hwy at about 65-70 MPH. 4 cyl. 4X4.

Talbotman · 10-21-2009, 07:53 PM

well in my 1995.5 i get 16-17 on the freeway putting premium in and thats driving 70 or below. oh and its the 2.7 4 wheel drive

Yoytoda · 10-25-2009, 10:52 PM

Hey ive got a 2010 regular cab 4x4. the last 2 tank i got 23 with mixed driving and the last tank i got 20mpg but that includes at least 4 hours of offroading. Im wondering how bad my milelage will be when i trade in the 245/75s for 235/85s or 265/75s. Im leaning towards 235s i know pizza cutters but they work awesome on rocks and snow and pretty good in mud just not super deep stuff. 235s are the same weight as stock, narrower means less rolling resistance. Does anyone have info on how the 265/75 or 235/85 diameter 31.6" affects power and mileage. They are only 1 inch taller

Ha! I am considering the exact same thing! What tires were you loking at in 235/86 that were the same weight? All the ones I have found were only load range E, thus much heavier than stock

Yoytoda · 10-25-2009, 11:49 PM

I meant 235s weigh same as stock size being 245s in the same load range.

i want E load range. And the 245/75 and 235/85s in an E load range are within a pound of each other. I want E load range for toughness my stck sidewalls took a couple nasty hits i dont think they can handle more. E load range are usually 7-10ply and are super tough.

Yoytoda · 10-26-2009, 12:04 AM

im looking at bfg km2s neither 265/75 or 265/75 or even 245/75 for that matter come in anything but e load range. 245s and 235s weigh 49lbs. the 265/75 weighs 53lbs.

Stock 245/75/16 SL weighing 36lbs.

DanGer · 10-26-2009, 12:34 AM

So wait, you have NOT found anything that weighs the same as stock in 235/85? That is the same as me, however the bridgstone dueller revo II's are only 44 lbs in load range e

KM2s look like some sweet tires. I might purchase KM2s for my next set of tires. In about another 40-50k.

Ok we are on the same page then! Honestly removing secondary air filter, adding an AFE and adding headers netted me maybe 1 mpg tops.

Yoytoda · 10-26-2009, 10:23 AM

well without the secondary removed and just the magnaflow i gained 1mpg. I went offroading for 4 hours the other day and the gas gauge didnt move, would have toasted a quarter tank in my chevy. I dont think 1" taller tire will hurt mileage that much just hope it wont kill the power.
