Im running 285x65x18's right now and I was thinking about sizing down to 275's when i get my next set of tires.
Im averaging 16 MPG right now and I was wondering if it would be worth it to downsize?
I dont really wheel my truck that much anymore so wider tires dont really do anything for me right now other than look cool

I would assume it would depend on the weight difference and tread of the tires.
