Default RE: Must read if changing tires

I checked my speed with my stock tires with my gps and my speedo was dead on. Now with the 34's my gps reads 70mph when the speedometer is ready about 66mph.
So, I stayed at 65-66 on my speedometer giving me right at 70mph true ground speed.

The only thing I didn't factor in was the additional miles gained while driving with the bigger tires, Actually your miles are more than the speedo shows, I didn't other doing the calculation but I do know that I had to get gas a LOT sooner than I did with stock wheels.

Big tires effect gas mileage while cruising as well as during take off. I can't buy the idea it doesn't. I can tell it every time I drive mine on the highway.

I'm running 12.50X33 Swampers/Aluminum ProComp rims on an '07 Adventure Package.

First tank was 13 mpg.

With 3,000+ miles on the odo now, my last tank came in @ 14.9 mpg (All highway between 70 and 80 mph)

maybe it's how I'm driving or break in. I dont know why the increase but I'm glad it happened.
