4 cyl and 265/75/16 tires

hey, I've had bf goodrich at/ta 265/75/16 on m truck for awhile now. I know about shitty gas mileage. I was just curious is running this size tire too much for that size engine ? dumb question just curious

 

What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

 

idk 15 a gallon i dont really pay attention to it. Ethier way it needs gas.

 

You got me.. I run 255/45/18's and get between 20 and 24 mpg. You might try posting a little earlier in the day. There are some people on here that should be able to answer you.. Just bump your thread.

 

its probb around 20 i really dont know it is early in alaska time

 

I have the same tire and get about 17 to 18 in my V6.

 

If you are getting anywhere between 18 and 24 with a 4 cyl you are getting about average. There are some that are getting better but that is the average from what I have researched.

 

cool

 

i have an 02 2.7L
before getting my bigger tires 285/75/16.. i had 265/75/16 and i was getting 270-280 miles per tank MAX so avg 18mpg

 

I was just curious if the tires aredoing damage to the engine over tim,too much for the engine to turn over time. I could care less about gas.

 

Exactlly what I get with 265/75/16's about 280. Sucks but I can live with it. My mileage seems to be almost the same on the freeway as city.

 

yeh 280 is kinda wack lol. try adding an exhaust and CAI. I do not remember how much my gas was back in the day because my truck has had an aftermarket exhaust since 30,000 miles (im at 189xxx) and a Volant CAI was put in at around 150xxx. The CAI helped a tad bit
