That would be awesome!!! I'm going to have to save up some coin before I get these tires.

I did some more testing today and now I'm at almost a half tank and around 320 miles on this tank. My instant read out is at 64.2 mpg. Most of the driving today was around a 52 mph average. So if my over size tires are 4.5% taller then I should be around 67 mpg? If this is the case I will be absolutely delighted.
