61 pound tires on a 4 banger?

can i run a 61 pound tire on a 4 banger without re gearing, if so, how much gas mileage will i loose, i have a '01 xtracab

 

61 pound? what you weighed em? mine are heavy but I dont have the weight 265-75 r16
just keep in mind it is a 4 banger and no you wont be roasting em. I can smoke em but I saw dollar signs the one time I did and decided thats a kids game, other than that you can but may find the ride suffers.

 

i went on tire rack and looked at the specs

 

285/75/16 its D load range

 

You should be fine. I was running 215/75R15 BFGoodrich - 34 lbs. tires according to Tire Rack. I remember reading somewhere the stock steelies on a 5 lug is ~26lbs. So the two combine I was running about 60 lbs.

 

The stock dunlops AND WHEELS on my 2.7 weighed 59.5 lbs.

You will have approx a 85 lb tire/wheel assembly and a noticable
change in performance.

 

k thanks guys

 

Higher tire/wheel weight adds unsprung weight to the chassis and creates higher centrifugal force. Your braking performance may suffer a bit and you MAY go through brakes pads faster. On trucks this isn't as noticable as it is on cars so it may not be an issue.

 

alright, thanks

 

wats ur flowmaster 40 sound like on your 2.7l??

 

I run Toyo MT's, they are 10ply and weigh a ton. I notice a diffrence in performance and probably won't buy them again because they weigh so much. They are an awesome tire tho and would use them again if I went offroad all the time.

 

it has an ok sound

its not incredibly loud but has a nice hum to it
