How much Mileage did you lose when switching to Duratracs?

[bigwebb83]

preliminary results are in. It's hard to tell right now because I'm trying to figure out how far off my odometer is (it was off before so I don't think it's just 5%). But I think that I only lost about .5-.75 mpg with the lift and tires which is better than I was expecting. Another added bonus is that I think the on board mpg meter has been brought into an accurate range now with the bigger tires. So depending on how the calculations go I may just be able to rely on that bad boy from now on.

I really like the Duratracs and am thinking of getting them. My only concern is that in the 18" size they only come in 275/65/18 which are 11 pounds heavier per tire than what I am running now. That along with greater rolling resistance has me wondering how much gas mileage I'll actually lose. Can anyone who has been running these tires for a while give me some objective information on this?

where did you find the weight of the goodyear tires?
