I've got a 2.7L '03 4x4 and am about to switch out the stock Dunlop 29 inch tires for either some Hankook or BFG All Terrains - both of which are 265/75/16, but not the same weight...

I understand that the Hankooks are lighter and will affect the MPG less, but is there any way to estimate exactly how much either tire will effect my MPG?

Thanks in advance...
