Gas mileage/Power decrease with 33" or 35" tires
Hey guys im debating on weather to get a 33" or 35" tire. How much of a difference in your power and gas mileage did you notice after adding bigger tires

Havn't had my 33"s too long. However, so far I've seemed to have lost between 1 and 0.5 mpg. at 35" I did see a decrease in power. Edge on level 2 fixed it for the most part. The largest change that I've seen is the ride is quite a bit more rough than it was before.

i like the stance a lot, just curious about the clearance for those tires
I have 33/12.5/17 ProComp All Terrains and my gas mileage is about 12 city / 14 highway. Nasty!

Mileage readings depends on how the speedometer is calibrated. If it is done correctly after a larger tire size change, the mileage will go down. More tire surface on the ground, means more drag, which means more fuel usage.
What tire size should I put in for my tires? 33x12.5x17
I have changed the edge to reflect it but it doesn't seem like the speedo is correct?
I tried 2631mm, but I don't think that's correct. I had about 15mpg on my first tank using 2631 for the tire size.
I used the mile markers on the interstate and my odometer was reading about 2-3 tenths more than the mile markers over 7 miles.
