Yeah deffinatly. Tires for sure. im getting a better average now that I filled up my tank. but im not done with it so I dont know what my avg is going to be yet. Ill keep this thread posted...

 

I like the tires! Did you have to do any trimming to get them to fit with no rub?

 

Took a trip from Ottawa, ON, Canada down to Lake Placid, NY last weekend with a bed full of camping gear and a 6x8 trailer full of back packs. 530 kms (330 miles) round trip. Computer told me I got 15.8 mpg, travelling mostly 10% above the speed limit. Never worried about getting up a hill (I know, truck wasn't even loaded), but the front rims were a little black from brake dust.

 

Nope! that was the cool thing. I can crank it all the way sitting still. I dont recommend comming in hott around a corner tho. those tires are TSL LTB's. I just rotated em last week and i still have some of the lettering on the lugs...and tire hairs in some areas. I notice a huge difference when they're warm and cold. When they're cold, you get a huge amount of resistance, lugs are really hard. once they're warm its smooth sailin with not to much tire hum.

 

heres a pic of the new wheels and tires.

Interesting, thank you.

Does doing this with the trip meter count? If so I did that alot last week as I went on a 2,000 mile trip.

If not I'll have to try it with it showing mileage and see if it makes a difference.

 

Holycrap! Those are some knobbies...

 

It doesn't have anything to do with the trip-odometer on the dash. It is in the overhead console. Use the "Step" function, to get to the economy setting and press "reset".
