Thanks man! So yesterday the family and I drove out to White Sands National Monument and spent the day there before coming home. This gave me enough miles to get some data for gas mileage after installing the 33" tires. Of course I will need to log more miles to verify the results but so far, city driving is about the same as before. I may have dropped a tenth or too but what I saw on my first tank commuting to work was right on par with what I was getting before. As for highway driving, the tank going to and from White Sands was my highest ever recorded MPG with this truck, at 18.7 MPG's. This was mostly highway, with a little 4x4 driving and taking my dog to the vet this morning before filling up. I would say it's about a 1/2 - 1 MPG higher then I was getting before and I'm thinking I could at least get over 19 if it was 100% highway. Again, I need to measure more to confirm these results but so far it's looking like the time I put into choosing the height, weight, width, and design of the tire to achieve my goals is paying off! |

I assume you did calculate the actual milage verse using the odometer raw reading? Mine shows about 9.5% off so if I drive 100 miles, my odometer reads about 90.5. I know you probably did this already. I was just verifying your numbers is all.

So did the tires fit nice? Find any rubbing?
