I had 265/75/16 tires for over 100,000km. I lost 20 percent or more in fuel economy with the larger tires, and I regained it when I went back to stock tires. I average around 12l/100km on stock tire size, and around 15l/100km with the larger tire size. I accounted for the larger tire size when calculating fuel economy. It's not a myth, and I do understand "what is really happening".

I would have to agree - my truck had these big chunky Hercules Avalanche on it when I bought it and I was getting 15 or 16 l/100km. When I put the Coopers on (same size tire) that dropped to 14 or 15 l/100km. I put it down to rolling resistance and the Cooper being a lighter tire. People also say tonneau covers don't affect fuel economy but I have been noticing about another l/100km saving since I put one on.
