Something don't seem right
Try to make this as quick as i can. I got bfg km2 305/70r 16 tires just put on. I also used the procal to tell the computer the new tire size. 32.5 is what i inputted. (used a tape measure from ground up to measure)
Today was the first time i did a highway run on the new tires.
At first it seemed right, i was getting 19 to 19.9 and no higher and this is from almost 22 mpg w/ the stockers
Riding along at around 65, i turned off the heat completley and the mpg shot up to 21.5
I didn't expect to be getting that much w/ the bigger tires. Does this seem right to any of you?
anyone experience the same thing at all?

What gears u have? I have a 2 door soft top manual with 35s and get 19-20 on highway running at 65 with 3.73 gears. My speedo hasn't been calibrated but I know my speed from my gps. So technically I am getting a little better on the CPU. When I do the mileage divided by gallons filled up on I am getting 18-20 highway.

11 mpg stock??? I was getting 19-20 mpg on my stock X tires & 3.73 gears before lifting and going to 35's (doing the math & GPS, not speedo). And with lift and 35's I was getting about 15 mpg. I just recently put on 37's and will calculate the mpg. I'm going to guess it will be in the 12's.
