Default new tires

I've been thinking about getting new tires for my truck for a long time. I was thinking about getting some 33 in superswamper LTB's. They are the cheapest superswamper and look like they are very good tires.Id be getting the 33X13.50-16LT tires prolly. I was wondering how much that would decrease my milage. im getting about 11 now and thats mostly all city driving. heres the link for the tires. thanks

What size tires do you have? The stock ones? I don't know if it's the same for all Rams, but I have stock 30 inch tires. I doubt that going from 30s to 33s would make a huge difference in MPG, maybe 1 MPG at most.

The width is what really seems to hurth the milage not the height although that may too. I'm getting about 8-9 with my 33in BFG Mud Terrains on my 01 with the 360.
