I will do some checking when on the highway this evening.

2 mpg is a lot if they're P rated stock size tires. What size are they anyway?

The OEM Michelins were P rated but the Toyo Open Country H/Ts are not. They are both 265/60/18s.

OPEN COUNTRY H/T | Toyo Tires toyotires.com/tires/pattern/open-country-ht-highway-all-season-tires check out the specs to see what tire you have, two listing for your size but one weigh's more then the other. Both P rated Look under sizes and specs, one product code show's a little bit wider then the other and is a little heavier.

They show the regular HT specs on that link, I'm guessing your tires are product code 363080 (30.5x10.8x18) 42 lbs ea. They make a heavy duty HT but only in a 16 and 17 inch tire.

It may just be the cooler weather and the wind. I'll know more after the drive to Burleson. I really like the looks of the tire, handling and ride. Just hope it is not going to kill my mpg.

You'll be suprised too that worn out almost bald tires will give better fuel mileage then new ones due to less rolling resistance.

Same with my wife. She has trouble getting in and so does my youngest son. It came with aftermarket single steps but they didn't look good. Took them off and just waiting to get some stock step bars.
