What is the largest tire size for a 1500 that will not affect my gas mileage?

Don’t mind them…… I’ve got 35 x 12.5 and don’t notice any difference in mpg. Actually contemplating going to 35 x 13.5 . A few on here are running 37’s.

Btw…… what’s mpg?

Dude, you bought a truck :favorites37:

What's MPG ..... sMiles Per Gallon .... D U H !!!!

And I have 37s on mine and I get 14-15 in town and up to 18 on the highway ...

Honestly it's all how you drive your truck ... if you know that you have bigger tires logic is not giving it so much gas on initial takeoffs from a stop sign or red light right? Or going up hill, you know that it's going to take just a little longer to reach speed, some people just slam that pedal down and use up half their gas tank ...

Most of us didn't get a truck and worried about MPG, I didn't so build your truck and enjoy it, drive like you know you have a lifted truck with big wheels and tires and you will be fine regardless of what you do with your truck ..

It’s all about the smiles per miles…….

For kicks and grinds:

let’s say that by having a modded Ram, that the end result is that Mpg drops 1/2. Instead of 20 (hypothetically) your now at 10 mpg. Over the course of a year you drove 7,000 miles. The difference in gas expense literally works out to be the cost of a Starbucks latte and tip per day…. and that’s with the insane prices now.

For kicks and grinds, while we are at it…… which would you rather be in during an accident? A Ram, or a Prius? I have a feeling that the money you saved with fuel economy will be sucked right up with your medical expenses.

And as mentioned…… when’s the last time you saw someone grinning from ear to ear in an economy car?

Just my perspective :waytogo:
