Q: on tue 3 oct 2006 140914 -0400 roy roy@home.net wrote your idea is sound but will be harder on equipment because of the gearing change. another way to save gas is to buy load range e tires. these tires can be inflated to 80 psi and then you will have less rolling resistance with the same gearing. i believe the 80 pounds is when the truck is loaded to its max. operating at 80 pounds m/t isnt going to put much rubber on the road and the truck will ride hard as hell imo. roy while it is true that 80 psi is required for max load capacity there is benifits from increase average presure from reduced rolling resistance which can improve mpg. the only real draw back is a stiffer ride on a bumpy road. tread design and profile plays a roll here too. a 83 series tires like a 235/83/r16 e will have less drag and rolling resistance than a 70 or 75 seris. it is also about 1 inch taller than a 245/75/16 too. finailly the tread design itself plays a roll too. a smooth tire with little or no cleats will consume less power than one with a meaty tread. look at a semi tire sometimes genrally unless you are carry enough weight to need it there is little or no gain in mpg with pressure over 55 to 60 psi so even a d range tire running at or near max pressue will roll nicely with a smooth tread. ----------------- theassholeman.com well well look what crawled under the door. tired of spreading false info at the other group and decided to drag your ass back here first you have a few questions to answer from the last time you were here. you remember them dont ya or are you here for another reason i figure there is another reason. your sig looks good. oh you didnt address the stopping issue with over inflated tires. care to take a shot .
