How bad will my mpg get

I'm running a stock 11 jk and am going to go with some Goodyear duratracs 275/70/18 and I'm wondering how much this will change my mpg what is everyone else getting for gas mileage thanks

That's not a big increase over the stock 255s, so I think you'll be in the 1-2mpg loss category.

If that.

You will not even notice. Duratracs don't run like an MT. I just took some 33s off and went to KM2 35s. Talk about a MPG killer.

I miss my Duratracs!
