power & mpg loss between 35x15 & 34" (305/70r17)...or even from a 33"
Is there any measurable loss in performance (power) or mpg between a 34" tire (305/70r17) & a 35x12.5r17 for a 2012+ 3.6L auto trans (mine has 3.73s for now)?
Maybe more people can comment on 33" to 35" dif and assume a little more than 1/2 for the delta between 34 & 35 (I assume the loss is exponental vs linear)

Problem is the 35's i am considering can be had for a smoking deal ($151 less total vs the 34s I am considering) and they dont make a 34 in r17

I'm running Goodyear MTR's 305/70/17. If it's not hilly were you live then go with the 35's. I think 35's with 3:73 the trans will be doing a lot of gear searching so to speak.
