MPG and Tires

[V Ro]

HI I am looking at the revo A/T and was wondering how this would effect MPG.



Also looking at deuler HL/alenze and perhaps goodyear fortera

I don't think that the difference in tire drag is going to be noticed between brands with similar patterns. Air pressure is a much greater contributer to MPG. BTW I have Revos and think their great.

As a general rule, you can expect 1 to 2 mpg more from a street dedicated tire, than an AT type tread...there can be exceptions...rolling resistance can vary from one brand to another even if the tread pattern is simular...has alot to do with body and sidewall constrution also...

Wonder how bad those 'gumbo mudder' tires affect mileage?

How about if the size of the tire goes up over stock? Will that have a great effect?

A taller tire can help some on the highway, with better mpg...speedo wil read low, to true speed..
