Extensive article on truck fuel economy
http://www.trucktires.com/us_eng/lib...econ/index.asp
Amazing article on tires fuel economy:
http://www.trucktires.com/us_eng/lib...fuelecon/3.asp
I bought my T100 in July and have logged in mixed driving (< 65 mph):
25 mpg - B.F. Goodrich A/T KO 31x10.5 15LT like new 12/32" tread (4 sale)
26 mpg - BF Goodrich
26 mpg - Winston Winners
27 mpg - Yoko Avids (awful cornering)
29 mpg - Avids and some aerodynamic mods
27 mpg - Firestone Destination LE p-metric - good ride and decent cornering
24.5 mpg - Firestones hauling some medium loads
Load and speed dominate rolling resistance, and since all my tires were hwy tread or A/T, I saw little difference due to tires. I'm selling the tires mountes on Eagle Alloy 3 spoke wheels $400 for set of 4 because too big.
