    I went from a 265 all terrain to 255 KM2's and get the same MPG. Sometimes even a hair more if I've done a lot of flat highway driving.

    I actually don't know if it was on the bump stops:eek:

    That was just the best pic I could find. There is a clean spot with paint rubbed off on the frame where the bumps make contact every now and then though. I'm running OME 881's. I never had a problem with the 255's rubbing unless I was at full lock in which case they hit the frame.

    Cool that's promising, anyone else (preferably with a 4x4 V6) have MPG experience going from a 265-285 All Terrain to the 255 KM2's ?

    Anyone know where I can get a decent deal on some KM2's? They are pretty steep.

    I went from stock 265s to the 255/80/17 km2s. No noticeable drop in mpgs, but I never recalibrated my speedo so I don't really know what's "accurate".
    According to my Ultragauge, I'm averaging 16.2 mpgs right now (not calibrated for the larger tires)

    I wish Goodyear would announce a duratrac in this size. I'd love to try those out.

    I emailed and inquired but they said they didnt have any current plans for them in that size and they would pass my email to the department that handles that stuff. Everyone start bombing GY with requests and maybe theyll offer the duratracs in this size :drevil:
