Can anyone tell me about a MPG loss/gain/same when switching from the stock tires to the Revo's? I'm thinking of getting them but not if it's going to cost me a lot in terms of MPG's.

I'd love to know the answer for the same stock size (235/70/16) and for the next up which is what I'd like to get (245/70/16.)

Thanks!


Any change in tire size will add weight. Added weight will reduce your mileage. Also the A/T tire, any brand, is stronger than the stock tire or more ruggedly constructed and will hurt your MPG a teeny little bit.

When I switched from my stock goodyears to my Firestone's, I lost about .5MPG overall. But I am very happy I gave up that tiny little bit of mileage just to get a little more all around security from my tires.

Stock Tire
GoodYear RS-A
235/65/16
Mileage per tank: 230 - 245 miles
Mostly City / Some Highway
Drive to work Vehicle

New Tire
Firestone Destination
235/65/16
Mileage per tank 225 - 240 miles
Same driving route, habbits and patterns

I'd imagine the Revo to be nearly identical

I have a set of LT245/75/16 C Load Revos on my CRD and they have been really good on road in both dry and wet weather and in snow too. Off-road they have been great in everything except lots of mud. In Colorado, we have lots of rocky trails and the Revos have held up great and have good traction. I've only torn up one tire so far and that wasn't the tires fault. Never had a set of mud tires, but really like the look and what I hear of the performance of Moab wheels and MTRs and so might have to try that next.

Have 18000 on my Revo's(CRD). Wish I kept the Wranglers. I was getting 25mpg before I changed to the Revo's at 2000 miles and have never got better than 23 at best ever since. Should be getting high 20's with 21000 miles in my CRD. Besides I have a long arm TJ w/35" Trxus tires to take off road now (10mpg). Other than that the tires are still in pretty good condition.
Anyone close to Superior Wisconsin I would be interested in your stock 16" Wranglers.
