Ok just thought I would give everyone an update. The truck got 29 mpg hwy when I got it (same as EPA sticker on the window) with stock 225/70/15 Continental Contitrac tires. Then I put on some heavy and aggressive 235/75/15 LT rated M/S Dunlop RVXT tires and my mileage went to about 26 mpg hwy.
Then, thanks to this thread and the thread listing the consumer reports results on low rolling resistance tires, I got the Michelin X-Radial DTs from Costco in 215/75/15 and just got
32 mpg with about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city!
So thanks everyone for all the help, and for anyone considering these X radial they are really delivering.
