I went from 235/70/16 to 245/75/16 and lost 1mpg and am having to baby the throttle so I dont end up with worse mileage. Now if you thew a 32in tire on it then it would drop even more. Given his power to weight ratio is better then me. It will stick affect it a good bit.

Nope, infact I just lifted my truck and get worst mileage, I want what I want and nothing is going to change that!
This was August....
look at my avatar to see it now, support your local gas station baby!
Thats what I think about it all, but like I have always said, do what sutes you best, not what everyone else thinks or does!
