Just bought an 05 CRD. Have determined the amount of lift needed to run 265 75 16 tires but am concerned with fuel mileage. I will not be re-gearing. I have searched the forum and cannot find the answer to the following question. Can 265's increase my hwy mileage by effectively increasing the gear ratio? I assume that my rpm's would go down. And with all that awesome torque I am hoping the hwy mileage won't be affected too much. Any experience with the CRD and 265-75-16 vs 245-75-16 would be appreciated. |

Well I'm spending way too much time driving in-town, and the 265's are better on the highway. when I switched - the avg of the 5 tanks before changing from 245/75/16 to 265/7516 and the average of the 5 tanks after 20.53 vs 20.51 Odometer miles/gallons pumped - no corrections Eco tune; in-town. and Welcome to LOST - check out the Noob guide http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54207 and Diesel posts work better in CRD...Love that Torque - lot's more views and responses. |
