my point of view is 2 mpg for tires plus 20 mpg for all the other miscellaneous stuff is big bucks! If any specific mod on a vehicle did 5 mpg or 25% of a change against epa's number dont you think they would do that stock?

I really hate to go here but.....
THe op doent believe that larger tires work to increase mpg. (which is ok....all are allowed there own beliefs)
BUT he nneds to do the research to change his beliefs. Being 'polite' wont fix it. I could post 10 links and he wouldn't read them.

The fact (and I saw this ealier but didnt see the significance until now....) was when he challenged Mech on if he REALLY got better mileage with larger tires.

Which all goes back to my original point....wouldn't op like to learn the concept behind the answer????

THe answer is no!!!!!!!!
I laid uot the parameters for larger tires on trucks and instead of engaging and discussing those parameters he posts the above comment.

so to answer his comment: ITS A TRUCK!!!! not an eco box. Trucks are suppose to pull not get great mileage.
Econerds arent even in the bell curve of truck buyers.

So back to my original question HOW'ED THAT SEARCH WORK FOR YOU!!!????????

maybe.....just maybe, if you got off your lazy axx and actually had searched and researched and seen the actual aba tests of your question, you wouldn't have posted that lame comment.

And why am I pissed now?.....because I read you like a book at your first post.
