Well its funny all these lifted trucks running smaller tires because they get better gas mileage than the taller tires, but what do they know.
I did some due diligence and went looking for the narrowest tallest tires and this is what I came up with, narrowest first:
Nankang CX668 135/80R15 73T
Dunlop Enasave 01 A/S Passenger All-Season 145/65R15 LRR 72H
BFGoodrich Tires Radial T/A Spec P155/80R15 RWL 83S
Nankang Tires FT-7 FORTA A/T SL 175/80R16 BSW 91S
Bridgestone Tires ECOPIA EP02 P195/80R16 97S LRR
Continental 4x4 Contact 205/80R16C
Michelin LTX M/S2 LT215/85R16E LRR: Green X
That is about as narrow and tall as you're going to get from 22.4" to 30.4" with some good LRR models to cover most vehicles. I am interested to see a proper comparison with all the aforementioned calculations (ie GPS, Revs Per Mile%, ect.). Maybe even trying some motorcycle tires might do the trick lol.
