So I have been gettin pretty good gas mileage, 16+ combined 18+ hwy, w/ my 35x12.5 ATZ's. They are about to be out in another 10k or so and I had been kicking around the idea of going w/ a slimmer tire, but still a 34.5-35" height. Here are the sizes and tires I'm thinking of. I'll make a poll as well. Thanks! 285/65/20 BFG AT T/A KO 295/60/20 Terra Grappler
Out of those two options I gotta go BFG. Get great mileage out of them and they aren't as heavy as some tires out there
since you didn't state a size, i looked and they have a 275/65/20. But I don't want a M/T tread.... thanks though. And I know they make the Open Country's in A/T, but I didn't like them when I had them as a 285/70/17.
Nittos, narrower will be lest wind resistance for better mpg Check the weights though, I'd go a lighter tire over a narrower one
First you say Nitto, then you say narrower will be better. yet, the BFG are the Narrower of the 2 tires I listed. And incidentally, Wind Resistance is laughable. You actually get better mpg on a narrower tire not due to it being tucked into the well and out of the wind, but because it has a lower frictional surface area thus equating to greater mpg. The lighter tire also is a factor for greater mpg, and if Carolinaboy is right, the BFG is lighter and (obviously) narrower.
