Am i crazy??
if u didnt see i recently went to 35's and im currently running 3.73's. after doin previous research ive known id have to change gears to 4:56's or aleast 4:10's. But ive been drivin around lately and it feels good for my drivin style. i was runnin about 76 mph on the highway at right around 2150 2200 rpms... umm im pretty sure thats damn low for a 3.0 and gonna me prime for gas mileage. so am i wrong or my truck playin tricks on me

Are you a manual or an auto? I would think you are going to have serious trans problems in the future if you are an auto. It is going to put alot of stress and load on the tranny, heating it up quickly and excessively. A manual you could get away with it, but be prepared to replace the clutch sooner than later.
As well gas millage is not exclusively due to RPM's. It is where the engine is most efficient.

Well I mean I not here to tell people what to do or how to spend their hard earned money but it just seems like a waste of money in my book to buy tires that big and not really use them. I just do not think that you would want to loose that much mpg's if you do not really use the tires. But hey, opinions are like *** holes, everyone has one.
