MPG with 285/70r17??

Just curious to what some of you are getting with this size of tire? I plan on doing a 2 inch lift in the near future and I wanna run 285s.

 

I’m wondering the same thing. How do you plan on doing the 2 inch lift?

 

OME 2" lift kit going to do it myself.

 

No offense but it's a truck, why do you care about gas mileage? I have all Kings Extended Travel front and rear. SOS Concepts front skid plate. A Relentless Fab Lower Stingray Winch Mount Bumper with winch. A rear Wilco Hitchgate and 255/80/16 E Rated Cooper STT Maxx tires. I get around 15-16 mpg. And in the end if I cared about mpg I'd buy a Prius. Mod the fuck out it and enjoy it.

 

Im on 35s and get 40 mpgs.

 

My commute is about 15 miles. 5 city and 10 highway. I average about 16 mpg a tank.

 

Expect the worse and be happy with 11 mpg......

 

194k miles on my '09 V6 DCSB 4x4. 20 mile commute (15 hwy). Average 17.3 mpg after compensating for larger tire diameter (meaning you will travel roughly 7% faster and further than the speedo tells you). No armor or heavy bumpers. P metric 285/70R17 tires (51 lbs each).

 

It seems like everyday we get those fucking mpg threads. Its a truck, it wont get amazing mpgs, just drive it and enjoy.

Watch out for those shins tho.

 

285/75/16s here. 2.5" lift, all the armor, full racks on top of a high-top shell. 2017 DCLB SR5 4x4.



I get 16-18mpg usually, with a mix of city and highway. Long-distance highway driving at 75mph drops to 15-16. Towing a 5k lb camper gets 10-12mpg highway depending on speed. I was thinking I'd need a Tundra, but I've been impressed with this Taco.

 

I have 285/70/17's and drive 46 miles each way to work, 60% highway at 75 mph and get between 17.8-18.2

 

I’m 285 70 17 with 5.29. I get 17 now and 19-20 in the summer.

 

Just got these on today but have been riding 285/75r16 in the past (essentially the same size). 285/70r17 AT3Ws in C load range. I carry about an extra 700 lbs in armor, the canopy, and gear on a daily basis and I usually average about 20 mpg on the highway if I keep it around 65 and drive like a grandma. 17.5-18 mpg once I creep over 75.

 

I get less than stock. I get even less since I now drive more aggressively. After I install a supercharger I’ll get even less and as I will then drive even more aggressively I’ll get less than less than that. As that is a quadruple negative I’ll either get zero mph or infinite. I suppose with real world calculus it may also be something in between.
