235/85r 16?

[kjweston]

so would 245/75s be that much of a difference with power and gas mileage??

I run 265/75s and put in ten bucks a day only driving maybe 20 miles a day..

with no job.. the tank is starving me

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Probably not.
10 bucks a day=4 gallons
20/4=5

WTF
You're getting 5 mpg?

 

[eyehatetofu]

No, I'm sure he is getting closer to 6 mpg. Gas in Florida is probably 3 bucks a gallon so:

10 bucks a day = 3.3 gallons
20/3.3 = 6.06 mpg

I think the difference you would see would be negligible. Now going to 215/70/16, you may see a difference

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

LOL

He needs to go down to 205/50-16 son

 

[kjweston]

yeah it doesn't get me 4 gallons. and 20 miles was a rough estimate.

 

[tommudd]

I've had 245-70, 255-70,265-70 and now the 265-75 never noticed much difference until I went to the last ones, they take more power and gas for sure!

 

[kjweston]

So tom. Based on my circumstances and wishes to save money and gas... ok and power. I should go to what 245/75 next tire? or one of similar diameter?

weird cause i was pretty sure 235/85 is 1/10 inch bigger and a decent amount skinnier.. dont think ill ever go that route. im thinking about going this wheel tire combo in the future..

Get proper wheel width,those are too wide for the tire. do like the finish on those.

Uh
You missed the part about buying a 35 mpg car

 

[kjweston]

haha you couldn't pawn it off to aaron. and I'm sorry to say im not interested either.

Hey, important toys are riding on the sale of that fine automobile!

 

[JLRockies]

Skinnier tire = better MPG and better traction. I roll the 235/85R16 and I've never had issue on or off road. Once I re-geared, I get 21 MPG. An option only for the true enthusiast.

 

[slaptastic]

Wow, ok now, what about gears? I read someone said something about 373's?

4.10:1 The main issue is finding the D30A gears, you can get them from places that sell gears for a 2.4L I4 KJ.
