KM2s 33x10.5 spacer lift - waiting to install my springs. 6 speed, 4.10s just at 50,000 on them and gotta wear em out before I can go bigger. 13.2 city, 19.8 highway, and about 6 in the dirt (I try to keep track in a spreadsheet and fill up before changing where/how I drive). If I slow to 55-60 I can get almost 21.5 highway. (if I correct for the 4% difference In rotations per mile i get slightly better than that) with the OE KMs I got less in city and highway - never checked off road with those.

I think I lost 1 - 2 MPG when I changed from my stock Duelers to 34.2" BFG All-Terrains, but really wouldn't we all switch to some Hybrid if we were all that concerned about mileage?

Anyway, I was hoping that some of you would post your mileage and tire type especially in respect to 35's on JKU's. I was contemplating BFG KM2's vs. what I have now. Thanks for the input. It is greatly appreciated.
35 12.50 17 BFG KO 10-12 if Im lucky. Short driving every day, if I can actually take it for a trip longer than 30 minutes i think I would be better off with mpg. Rubicon Express factory lift, 4.10 dana 44 and dana 35, Auto, I can baby it, squeeze some out. Even found a additive that helps, but horrible gas mileage. Im upgrading to a magnaflow system cat back, I pray it doesnt get worse. Im still more worried about the oil burning, not coming from anywhere, no tail pipe, just goes missing lol

I have a stock 2013 JKU Sahara with the stock tires P255/70SR18.0 OWL AT, 3.73 gears. I'm avg about 12.2 to 13.1mpg/ city. I haven't really taken any significant highway trips to avg out the mpg. I recently installed the Magna-flow Pro off-road cat-back exhaust and now I'm avg about 11.2 to 11.9 mpg/ city. There was a noticeable bump in the butt dyno..!! I must admit I do have a heavy foot & now that my rig seems to pull harder (acel), it might be the reason for my mpg decrease..?! Looking at this thread, there are a lot of ppl who run larger tires but have better MPG than me..?! I thought that I would get worse MPG with the 35's I'm looking to put on...??

I think my question was misunderstood. I was asking for mileage not MPG. I do appreciate the MPG info though. I was wondering how many miles people are getting out of their tires. Thanks.
