Dropped about 60 lbs total with smaller tires. Lost about 3 inches width each tire. I believe I read somewhere that a wider tire can have a lower rolling resistance. They may have shown that with the poor on road performance.
As we all know Wranglers are not know for ride comfort. I have noticed a real decrease in ride comfort with returning to 40 psi.
Recently I let go of my 89 taurus sho. I've broken 31 mpg on long trips with that v6 250 hp engine. Cd of .31.
Mud flaps? You mean the plastic fender extensions? If its a bolt on bolt off I'm game to try it.
