10-12 mpg towing a parachute with a gas motor, whether it’s an I4 or a V8.
Physics says it takes a specific amount of energy to pull that sail at a given rate, and it’s not WOT. The energy comes from the gasoline, the engine just converts it.
If you ever plan to run “35s” the typically run 12.5” wide, or ~1 3/4” wider than stock. You’d need to account for at least half of that, and @h20man’s recommendation of -12 would move you out just over a much from where your +18 wheel is today, so would be a good recommendation.
If you won’t...
Does look a little close from the pics.
I like to have a finger width space between tire and UCA.
That said the top of tire doesn’t really change geometry or position much. Unless your ball joints are shot, or your tire develops a bulge.
You could just run it a while and keep an eye out for...
Also there is a minuscule fraction of Hurricanes in the wild as compared to the DT Hemi, and certainly a fraction of the amount of time it’s spent in the wild.
And yet, I wonder how many longer-term forum members think there are a higher number of complaints on the Hurricane than the Hemi has...
In all seriousness, I did miss that you were new the forum, and it's annoying when smartasses like me don't just give you the desired answer.
So typically you'd wait until the pump to hand calc as the dash reading is highly variable, as you probably know. So assuming the mileage dropped...
I really like the look of those tires and have seen them everywhere lately. The siping and blocking looks like it would be a very well rounded (tire pun) AT if the compound is quality. Sidewall looks nice too. Let us know how they work out.
It’s funny (sad) that the stock photos are being used to train AI which is generating images which are being sold (by Adobe at least) as stock images.
In a sane world there would be copyright infringement concerns here.
So yes I’m sure they hate it.
I like it. My previous truck I used the same Thule mounts but just attached it to a 2x6 that slotted into the bedside molds for such. Then the board came out when I wasn’t biking. That said I wasn’t also contending with a tonneau cover.
BFGs run small. That said 295/70r18s do still fit stock at least with ORGs. So would definitely fit leveled/lifted trucks. I remain convinced this is the perfect size.
Thanks for adding to the picture database. Looks great.
