@ Badkarma....Nice look'n rig too!
I knew with the upsize I would sacrifice a little MPG's. Before the install I was getting 15-17 mpg around town and back/forth to work. I took it on a trip to Ft. Collins Colorado and averaged 23mpg with interstate driving and running around Ft.Collins/Loveland area. How much decrease did you notice after install? As I mentioned earlier, I had some really crappy tires on before that rode really rough and were prone to "wander" in any type of road grooves. These, even with the more agressive tread, are much smoother and quiter than the old ones.
I also did'nt have to do any trimming "yet"....The should be no problem on the rear but I do only have 1 inch to 1/2 inch clearance on the front corner when turning. My only concern is when I get ice/snow buildup on the wheel wells I might get a little rubbing action happening then. Too early to report much at this point but will keep up with an update. :thumb3:
