x2 on the mpg. I have 4.88's and 35 x 12.50 with 16in steel rims. I'd be curious what a difference it makes with alloy rims...

From what i've gathered, you get little to no fuel saving & can get worse in some cases.......but you get a nice increase in power.

I have just got mine in and the thing reads 16.8 with the 35" tires. I do a lot of freeway driving. I don’t think I will keep getting these kinds of number all the time.
