33” / 285s & getting 25 MPG highway average…

Well, your math is incorrect. Definitely wasn’t doing 48mph on 95.

 

AVERAGE

 

Are you running Cooper Rugged Trek's? Are they LT or SL?

 

If you're driving 95mph on I-48, mpg is the least of your worries.

 

I was averaging 25 mpg before the new tires, it has dropped to 23 mpg now, which is not as bad a drop as I expected. Truck only has 2000 miles so far, time will tell if it gets any better once engine is fully broken in.

 

I am, they are SL

 

So those pictured are 285 70/17’s?

 

I just installed 285-65 18 mickey Thompson baja boss a/t on my 24 4x2 sport mpg has dropped 20%
Was around 26 mpg on flat freeway at 65 mph. Now about 21.5.
Stock suspension for now.
Stock tires weighed 35 lbs these baja boss weigh 66 lbs but looks mean and they are so quiet and ride comfortable I can't believe it.
No regrets mpg loss is worth the looks

 

Photos??

 

How is it getting up to speed? Have you tried maintaining 80-85mph? Thats where my tacoma struggled. The tundra doesn't struggle at all, but I do only get 15-17mpg going that speed.

 

I have been trying to upload but it won't work. I hit upload a file , the I hit choose file and nothing happens. I used to post pictures all the time. Not sure why

 

Uploading from phone?

Uploading photos from my phone seems to take an exorbitant amount of time for the upload to happen anymore... Online I can just paste them in all at once and be done.

 

Does anyone know the weight difference?

 

yes

 

No rubbing?

 

I removed the mud flaps and that piece of metal with 3 bolts that can be taken off just before going to get fitted and have alot of clearance

 

Yeah, no. Get your ass run over driving 60 on the highway. 18 mpg is realistic without obsessing over the little white bar.

 

I call bullshit.

 

I watched one youtube video report 19mpg in a real world test of like 90mi roundtrip….

and another report 26mph w/ like 40 miles roundtrip

so annoying nobody is reliable

 

Top off gas, reset trip odo, drive it until you need to refuel again, top off gas, note miles travelled and gallons refueled, calculate MPG, reset trip odo, repeat.
