Just installed Bils and Toyo MT's on the Ecodiesel (pics)

Drove it around 100 miles today. No funny noises and the ride quality is improved in my opinion (even with the addition of larger tires). Very pleased!

Been driving for a few weeks since the Bils and tires got put on. There is a definite reduction in fuel mileage. I was seeing 27 on the highway driving conservative. Its more like 23 now. I knew it would drop some, but i was thinking like 2mpg. Looks like it cost me about 4-5mpg.

^ damn. I would think a 2 mpg drop too. 4-5 is nasty. But oh well, you can't put toyo mt's on a Prius. So, I bought a RAM.

Did you adjust your speedo? If not, a reading of 100 miles on the odo will likely reflect an actual distance more like 103 miles, so 23 mpg would actually be 24. Still a pretty big drop.

True that , so what do you fly Sir ?

 

[Sportram1500]

nice look

 

[SilverSurfer15]

im not really surprised, its whats happens when you put 39lb car tires on a truck and air them up to the moon to meet EPA standards.

Did you change out the UCA also?

Yeah that's believable for sure. Not sure what the weight on the M/T's are (couldn't find it online anywhere) but that size in the A/T's are 62 lbs / tire. M/T's would weigh more, I'm guessing maybe 3 lbs. That's in 325/60/20 weight range. My 35's weigh 69 lbs and I lost 4-5 mpg.

I lost5-6 MPG off my average when I went to my 35s on my EcoD.

Currently flying my 2015 Sport Quad Cab.

This is my first Ram, I've always been a GM guy, but after being extremely disappointed with my 2014 GMC (I sold it with 4k on the clock) I decided to try a Ram and have been overall thrilled with it.

Tires look great!

 

[tdramman]

I was told that my truck would fit a 295/65 tires with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. I haven't tried it yet. I lost 1 MPG with the leveling kit. Loosing another 3-5 MPG with those tires scare me now. Yikes

 

[Thatdude596]

quit crying I'm getting 9 mpg

 

[tdramman]

9? Yikes.
