Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
dont forget, less revolutions means less mpg shown via speedo, even though you are physically traveling the same distance. it will appear your mpg will be worse than what it actually is..

Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
And I understand the point that you have to compensate for the difference in tire compared to your odometer, but I would still like to hear what everyone's mileage is.

Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
14mpg average on mine, but well worth it. I was at a auto show today here in town and they had a H3 and a H3x, both with the 285's  The new 3's were nice until you looked down at the oreo cookie tires. Man I kinda felt embrassed. They really make the ride average after looking at my 35's every day  One thing that sticks out in your post is traveling alot. I know my gas guage drops alot faster now with the 35's.. Maybe 33's might do the trick for ya. I have a buddy with aftermarket 33's on his and it looks very nice and he can wheel with the best of them. |

BFG 35 is 34.8
BFG 33 is 33.1
1.7 diff divided by 2 is a mega .85 inch more clearance off the ground did I do that right?

Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
i have thought about it alot and becasue i am doin 15 k plus a year in milage I am going to a 33 inch tire. 35's are nice but i put too many freeway miles on. i also think the wife will require a step if i go more then 33, right now I don't run any steps. Good luck on your decession
