city/hwy MPG in various tire sizes????
Does anyone know "real world" city/hwy MPG for:
-stock Rubicon unlimited (6-speed manual)
vs.
-same set-up with 33" tires
vs.
-same set-up with 35" tires
(assuming 2.5" - 3.5" lifts as needed, and no other major additions that might add weight / drag differences caused by heavy winch bumpers, lights, racks, etc...)

Mines the 2 door X model but I've changed gears to 488 and electric lockers
15X8 wheels with 35 Goodyear MTZ about the best I get around town is 13mpg get around 16 to 17 hwy if I keep it reasonable. It's probably a moot point but If you buy a Jeep with conserns about mpg or how it rides your more than likly going to be disapointed.
