    Hey, I'm about to have to get new tires and I'd rather have the MPG of an all terrain but rather have the performance of the mud terrain. I have been set on duratracs in 31x10.5r15 but recently I have been wondering how much mpg difference could it possibly be between KM2's and duratracs in the same size tire? If there is already a thread on this that I've missed please point me to it, but any insight would be appreciated

    Probably 1-2 mpg.

    I do not know about the duratracs but when i went from 265/65/17 to 265/70/17, I hardly saw a difference in MPGs. The depending factor is how much of a lead foot I have at the given time. KM2's are fairly light for a MT in my opinion.
