Default gas mileage.

I will post the difference. Swithced out for stock tires today from my Mickey T's that were getting about 10 MPG.

Lets hope I get at least 15 ....

Just wanted to share. Only temporary, will be switching out before and IF IT goes offroad again. I am enjoying the sunshine.

10MPG! Wow. I thought guys running 37's were still able to break into the low teens.

Default jeepin dad!

yes its actually running. I LOVE IT!

Top is off .. now its sitting in the carport, not sure if I am gonna swap back the 35's til' I can get spacers on monday.

Come to find out .. that I need wheel spacers for the stock wheels for the front. Rear doesn't need em, it'd look gooft I think, husband says not.

As for mileage ... no ... 10 in town, i may get 12 if I am LUCKY on a really long drive on the freeway at 55 MPH.

I get about 220 - 250 miles to a tank of gas (18 gallons) ... well that equals about 12 or 13 ... but still its pretty closet to 10!
