Hey all,
I was looking to get some tires for my 86 yota pickup 4wd. It has a 4cyl. 5 speed tranny. Of course i am looking to get the best mpg.
A 235/75/15 is about 29" diameter and weights 35-37 lbs.
A 225/75/15 is about 28" diameter and weights 27-28 lbs. (stock size)
My question what would give the best mpg? The larger tire making the gears a little taller but heavier? OR The smaller and lighter tire with stock gearing.
I currently have some old mismatched 235's on some steels, but the new tires will go on some OEM alloys. I am currently getting about 23 - 24 maybe?? At best.
Thanks,
Kirk
