Also take into consideration offset of wheels. More outside of the wheel well the tire the bigger area of wind resistance.also in texas traveling on highways where they are designed to go over roads there by creating even more wind resistance as apposed to a flat road.

I drive a lifted truck, with big wheels, it burns gas, if i wanted fuel economy id get a prius... the stock tires were super light compared to the new fuel rims and 35s i put on, so 13-15mpg on mine.

With aggressive tire and offset wheels gonna loose 3mpg
Forget about MPG it calculate about 350 dollars more per year. I think I can afford 350 per year if I can afford 10 grand per year for truck IMG_20190917_083834~2.jpg IMG_20190917_083834~2.jpg IMG_20190202_143139.jpg
