Default RE: Taller tires=more or less mileage on the CTD?

The 19.2 commercial style truck tires
are taller but still narrow
with tread designed for lower rolling resistance.
This type of tall tire would probably improve MPG.
Note that the new 6.7 Cummins Ram cab-chassis version is fitted with this type wheel and tire from the factory, so there is now a lower cost wheel than the Rickson conversion.
