Was thinking about something tonight... Shouldn't a mud tire have better fuel economy than an AT? Hear me out before you tell me i'm crazy; Lower rolling resistance = better fuel economy, rolling resistance = friction, MT's have ALOT less tread touching the pavement, = less friction = less rolling resistance = better fuel econ? Why doesn't this work in real life...
