I have some 245/70 A/T tires on some cragars and I hardly notice a drop in performance or MPG. Of course the tires you have are almost an inch bigger so im sure you will notice a difference.

I'm picking up 5 Crager Soft 8 16" rims with 5" backspacing Almost new. Comes with 4 GY RTS 245/75s. Yeah, the RTS suck, but at $50 for each tire & Rim, I'm not complaining if they help. Question is will a street tire like that increase the MPG at all over a set of MT/Rs or will it still suck because of the size? |
