Horrible Gas Mileage with KM2's

i get terrible mpg....im running 285/75/16s, i think i get anywhere from 295 to 300 to a tank. i do alot of hwy driving (70+) i just suck it up and foot the bill....after all i did want the set up. My old 2000 Yukon denali Had a 6" lift with 37"s and got around 18-19 mpg with a supercharged 6.0 i have no clue what im getting with my taco

 

only if you're into rock crawling and need the bottom end torque to do that slow crawl....

 

What?

 

higher gears better low end for rock crawling. your getting your power at a lower rpm i think

 

Why does everyone refer to 265's as "stock?" Mine came with 245's. Even the door jam sticker lists: 245/70/16. Is this because it's a prerunner? BTW--I can drive well over 400 miles on a tank.

 

prerunners come with 245's as well

 

I hope that is what he was saying... I was just trying to point out that 4.10 gears would return the factory "gear ratio/tire diameter" for the speedometer and gas mileage calculations.

3.73/x=30.6/33

x then equals 4.02. So a 4.10 gear would give a little extra "gear" to overcome the larger tires weight.

 

i drive both hwy and city...

I'm in las vegas...so there are tons of cars, tons of lights...and ever more dumb drivers...LOL...

when on the highway I drive between 65-70 depending on the mood I'm in...on the city streets I just drive speed limit...its mostly 45 around here on the major streets...

i have a SGII and can monitor my miles per gallon...this has helped me conserve gas a lot more...

If anyone wants to sell their 285/70/17s of these because of the mpg, shoot me a pm

 

TRD's come with 265.
