Thanks for your feedback.
1) I average 14 mpg around town.
2) not all tires make the same noise. I have the duratracs and they are unbelievably quiet.
3) get adjustable shocks like the Rancho. 9000's. I keep mine on 5 for normal driving. 10 is super stiff, 1 is super mushy.

If you were to put a 315 and a 35 side by side, would you be able to tell the difference?

I am only getting 10 MPG in town on my 2013 with the 35's. I have 3.73 gearing and an automatic. I didn't do anything to the on board computer to adjust my tire size (procal, etc). Before I put the tires on, I was getting almost 18 MPG city. Is this normal, or should I have my Jeep calibrated for proper tire size? Just seems like this thing drinks gas like it's going out of style.

When you get it calibrated, it will show your true mpg. I suggest AEV ProCal.

I average about 14.2mpg in my 2012 on 35s and still stock 3.21 gears.

At first i got around 12-13. Now i run a superchips on performance 93 and get 15-17 on highway
My toyos are pretty quiet on the highway with the hardtop on obviously louder with the soft top but not annoying at all
My ride is alot better since the lift it feels more solid and takes bumps alot softer
Hope this helps

Thanks! I will look at the AEV ProCal. I wonder if my mileage may be off as well, bigger tire, less revolutions, lower odometer reading? It just seems like my gas guage moves fast towards empty. When I recalibrate will it fix that? Or maybe it's just me looking at trip odometer and seeing only'x' amount of miles on a full tank of gas. I'm sure once the calibration is done, I will see an increase to total miles on a tank. Thanks for the suggestion.
