Couldn't calculate the 7th fill, some little hippy girl was bumming gas so I filled her 5gal can up while I was filling my tank.

285s with 2.5" lift.
Gas, grass, or ass?

Run away from Patagonia MT tires, aftermarket wheels, and a lift. That will kill your MPG. 13-14 mpg dead.

I have never heard of these before but have seen that weird treat pattern.

How do they perform?

Looks like they'd be prone to some chunking and weaving behavior on road.

They make noise, so far I am otherwise very happy with them, have not really put them through anything. They do perfectly well on fire roads, but so what. This winter will get some sand, mud, and snow under them.

On-road manners are fine.

285’s and MPG?

I'm running TRD Bilstein suspension with 2/1.5 CF and airlift on 285 RGs. At first, my avg dropped from right around 17 to just under 14. Granted, I spent more time off road in the summer after the mods. A lot depends on your driving style. I started driving more economically (slower speeds/acceleration, avoiding braking when possible, taking routes to avoid inclines, harder turns, and squeaking past more close red lights than I care to admit). It became sort of fun like building stats on a video game. Anyways, even with the mods it settled at 18.9 combined. I really wanted to maintain 19. After a few months I relaxed a bit, but learned a few tricks. Now I'm at 17 again.
