make up my mind

[krisP]

i keep going back and forth with what tire size i should go with. Have some new 16x7 4 "BS cragar soft 8's , much heavier than the stock 17" wheels. With the heavier wheels i want a tire size thats not going to leave me kicking myself when it comes to power and mpg

So i will let you guys decide since i can't come to a conclusion to if 255-70 will be that much of a power loss or not to worry about

245-70
or
255-70

Juust a before pick, tires 245/70/16 and soft 8'S are all in

This pick is the 17" rims with 235/65/17

255/70/16 installed with the cragars, took a 100 mile trip after and mpg didnt decrease and i noticed no change in power on hills or anywhere

maybe its just the new stance or the larger tire filling up more of the wheelwell but even with the clevis lift i added the lift height doesnt seem as drastic. Hard to get a good measurement with the fatter tires but the crude measurement i did get shows a slight increase.....maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me.

its amazing what upgraded tires, suspension, control arms and a much overdue alignment will do :gr_grin:
