Its true the real tests we have all show slightly bigger is almost always better.
I went to a slightly wider and 2 inch taller tire on the suburban I was fully expecting fuel milage to go down, but it stayed the same and may have even gone up slightly.
Wasn't there a test were some one on here with a metro put bigger tires on the front (where all the weight is) and doughnut tires on the back and picked up like 4mpg?
