I know 31" tires were not factory. Would you consider buying factory rims tires for the 4-runner? I know these jap bricks aren't meant for FE, but every little bit helps. Roof rack delete would be a smart start unless you use it. And if city driving is your use, then consider running half a tank of gas. My 4-runner has a 24 gallon tank, 12 gallons of gas may not seem like much, but anything helps.

Running sidewall max on the 4-runner has helped this thing glide like an ice skater, so best bet is get the wifey to practice techniques, I know the hassles, I'm trying to get the wife to do the same.

Good Luck
