5th gen tire question...

How would the gas mileage of the 5th gen LTD change if it had the same tires and wheel size as the SR5 and TE? I know the tire and wheel height combo is the same but the width of the stock LTD tire is more narrow than the other two. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

IMHO you'd give up .5-1.0mpg maybe. I say maybe because tread design is a huge player.

IIRC the EPA MPG rating is the same for a 4wd SR5, TE and Limited. The slightly narrower tire is how they get away with that given the Limited has full-time 4wd (which hurts mpg by .5-1.0mpg, especially on the highway). 17/22mpg, right?
