My best MPG from running 255/85R16's Cooper Discoverer A/S was 14ish, all highway 3 tank average, no air dam. Both sizes MPG adjusted for diameter.

Look at the tread patterns of the two and you will quickly see why the difference. You can hear the difference driving down the highway, that mud terrain drone is the sound of wind resistance eating away at your gasoline.

Im glad I dont own a truck. The 245/75-16 coopers that I referenced are 45lbs each.
