I’ve been throwing around the idea of the wrangler 255/75/17 also.
They only weigh 40 pounds!
you get the height from the side profile but just lose the beef from the front view.
I was just playing around with the instant gauge on my 100 mile drive. I didn’t drive each MPH for 100 miles.
Speed up to 80 and test the mpg for a few mins on I 75. Slowed to 70 on I4 for a few mins. Slowed to 60 on 417.
This was not a scientific study. My 50/40 comments were just from...
For sure 60 just seems to be the sweet spot. Driving around town at 50 and 40 doesn’t produce the same mpg.
just based on memory I want to say 50 mph was closer to 27-28 mpg. I’ll have to test later.
Did a little experimenting today on my 100 mile interstate drive In florida(read flat)
RWD, 500 miles on truck so still breaking it in.
cruise control on
80 mph - 21 mpg
70 mph - 25 mpg
60 mph - 31 mpg!!
Numbers will only get better. Maybe I should slow down a little too...
I know a few are using the P rated 265/70/17 is anyone using the 285/70/17?
Pretty hefty difference on the weight per tire and I was wondering how MPG are holding up on the P rated. I do 0 off-roading so this is just a complete imposter grocery getter.
