they are 325/60-18. according to the digital readout i was averaging 21+ mpg before putting the new wheel and tires. now it says i'm averaging 16-17. i don't think it's right. I haven't done the math myself yet but i will the next time i fill up

that readout will be off now that you are running a new tire size (outer diameter is different with a taller tire) going from a 31 to a 33" tall tire should be about a 6% difference. So 17mpg on the gauge should be closer to 18.05mph for real

Looks great! Amazing what nice wheels and tires and some chrome goodies can do for a truck!!

I'm assuming your truck is 2wd, any notable difference in ride or handling with the 2" level?

if you bought that truck with the texas edition badges and it didn't come with the big wheels and tires I'd say you got ripped off

but it looks great now
