    I'm running around 35 psi with a new air filter and spark plugs with 265s. my last tank I got a little over 20 mpg, but I'm probably around 75% highway 25% city.

    Over the past 3 years, my truck's averaged 18.3MPG. (The low was 16.1MPG and the high was 20.6MPG.)

    I'm running a TRD supercharger and a 2.5" suspension lift. Tires are 265/70R16 BFG ATs that I keep at about 35psi. About 70% of my driving is highway and 30% is city. (Highway speed limits here are 65-75MPH.)

    I'm getting about 17 with a lot of towing right now. I usually get around 18 mixed but when I worked in illinois I would get 21 easy since it's all freeway. Mileage is expected to take a shit later this summer when I get new shoes

    Possibly. Whatever I can fly by the parents. Either 32-11.5-15 bfgs, 33-10.5-15 bfgs, or 32-11.5-15 hankook dynapro mt rt03s.

    I really wish they made the dynapro in a 33-10.5 but oh well I'll live

    I don't mind trimming a little, but I still want to stuff everything up nice and pretty. Plus I think 32-11.5 and 33-10.5 are my size limits. I don't want to lose too much power because I don't plan on a regear for a while if at all. I need to save the rest of my money for my incomplete suspension, armor, and some other shit

    i kinda have a solutin to everything :D

    those 33x12.5's are ok with the stock 4.10 if you have a manual. when i 4x4 ed with my 33x12.5 i hade no probelm in 1st and if i had i could've put it in 4 low. probelms start on grades between 4-7 %


    and i dont think you would have to trim much if you get 3.75 back spacing on your 15" rims

    and personally i dont see you really lossing any more power going with a 33x11.5. thats just 1" wider but they look way beefer

    just my 2 cents

    I mean yeah they look beefy as hell but unfortunately I'm an auto and I do quite a bit of towing in the summer so I need pretty much all the power I can get...I should probably stop towing 6000 lbs worth of cow shit but hey that's what's paying for all this. And my driveway is probably a 7%-9% grade lol I have to tow all that shit up...backwards...for 1/5 of a mile haha not really relevant but you get why I'm leaning towards something not as big. The backspacing part is kind of tricky...if I stuck with a wide tire let's say 12" and a rim with 4.5" of backspacing I rub on the uca and frame at full lock. Now if I step it down to 3.75" of backspacing I rub on the fender. Any lower and wider and I'd probably need to start hacking into sheet metal. I don't know of any companies that make a 33-11.5 and I'm sure they're out there but I'd be more than happy with a simple 33-10.5 or 32-11.5.

    Believe me man ive lost sleep over this lol
