    You need a tuner to accomodate the larger tire and possibly a fuel.filter

    Not sure where you got those tire sizes, I got [33.8 vs 31.6] for a 6.6% difference.

    That makes 200mi into 213mi, but the tires are wider and heavier, which will suck down your mpg also.

    325mi/26gal = 12.5mpg, 275/26=10.5mpg... 213/26=8.2mpg.

    If you were only getting 12mpg before the tires, something else was wrong, but losing ~2mpg is to be expected
