Looking at a set of theseon my 05 3500 srw 4x4.Anyone have likes or dislikes about the toyo's?

Also thinking about steping up to 285 / 75 /17 . running 4.10 gears should this get me any milage increase or will I lose mpg?

 

leave your axels with the 3.73's. and run the 285's. just make sure to get your speedo reset.

 

On that If anyone could let me know milage on 35/12.50 w/3.73 failrly stock truckmpg results (hand calcplz)I would like to know as well since I plan on gettin some w/n a year or so...

Carter you might fill in your sig with any mods you have, as mods such as a programmer can affect you mpg a decent amount, this way everyone can relate more to your truck and give you results from other guys with similar mods

 

To add to that 285/75 17s will put you off about 2mph for every 30mph you do
ex. at 60mph you'll be runnin 64mph

 

Sorry guys filled in the sig. I have 4.10 gears Will switching from 265/75/17 to 285/75/17 help my mpg with the 4.10 gears?

 

A little. I believe the only difference between the 265 and 285 is the 285's are 2 inches taller in diameter. A taller tire should reduce rpms a little.

 

you will gain mileage on the highway due to lower engine rpm, however you will loose city mileage due to a reduced mechanical advantage. . .however the difference between the two may cancel each other out depending on driving habits and how much time you spend at a constant speed.

 

I was just looking at aset yesterday, they told me to avoid them if I wanted any kind of mileage.

What gears are you running, and what kind of mpg are you getting?

With the 4.10 's I'm just getting 15.6 - 16 av. If I keep it 55 or under it will sometimes push 17. With the 4.10 you get to 2000 rpm at about 64 mph.

I was hoping the 285's would lower the rpm's and help mpg a little.


I envy those getting 18 - 20 mpg!!!

 

Im sorry, I should have worded that better...I meant wear mileage, not fuel mileage
