    I don't know if you were referring to my post, but I have a Sport not an OR and it came with 17" wheels, so for me, 265/65/17 was stock.

    Consider wind speed and direction also.

    No, it was for OP. He has an OR and has the wrong stock tire size in his calculator.

    Not to mention that coriolis would only have an effect if the truck was floating

    I'm running 285/70/R16 on Methods on my TRD OR. Hard to say the exact change considering I have an LT kit up front and kings in the rear. I average 13.6 MPG and my MPH is off 4-5 MPH. Hopefully, this helps!

    My average on the interstate with cruise set @65 (my Speedo is off, so math guys do your job) but set at that I get 16ish mpg. Anything over 65 (by my dash, not the really mph nerds) anything over I drop mpg like I’m pouring out the window, I mean like 12-13ish range. And that’s without a trailer. I do live in Ga, near Atlanta so it’s hilly. When I lived in La (Louisiana) with the same set up I was getting 17ish close to 18 on the interstate. City roads, obviously the stopping and going it crashes down to 13-14mpg.
