assuming 4.56s bring it back to stock ratios. I would say around 8-10

I would guess 6-8 mpg.

I am about to go 4.56 from 3.55s ! The 34-10.50-16 super swampers did not like the 3.55s ! Unloaded on a good day about 10 mpg !

Super swampers don't have a very mileage friendly tread pattern . Being oversized doesn't help either. I've got close to stock sized tires on mine right now (245/75/16) and I can get about 16 hwy. I usually average 12-13 though with city/hwy.
