Again, PLEASE show the ABA tests and not a bunch of smart ass words
As I have stated on several occasions, when dealing with trucks, you have to start at the FACTORY size first. Not t the size currently on the truck.
It is hard to 'oversize' a car because suspension parts get in the way.
Trucks don't have that problem. So many posters just jump in and make a claim that is false.
But since you are unable to think beyond your mind set....
1. Did those OVERSIZED tires come from the factory???
2. did the owner put them on for better mpg????
As has been started in several tire posts, it is possible to put tooo much tire/wheel on and then you ruin the mpg.
But I bet you a dollar that when they put on the smaller tire it is NOT smaller than the factory tire.......which proves you to be 100% wrong in your assumption
also, most conversations on larger diameter deal with JUST THE TIRE and not going w/ a larger wheel.
SO ALLLLLL those jacked up trucks have larger WHEELS and tires. Not just larger tires.
Again this goes back to you ignoring the different rims you used in your tests.
