With larger tires, you can go the same speed at a lower RPM. Would that help?


My 87 had been getting 13+ at best lately (spring before tranny went) on 31s. I put 33s on about two weeks ago and have gone through two tanks. One at 16+ and one at 16-. So I would say yes to your question, in my case at least. I wonder how that would pan out in a 2.6 NA, as the turbo has little trouble turning the bigger tires.

All of which has me really wanting to find out why I am/was getting 13MPG before. I should be able to get more like 16-17, which should then equate to close to 20 with the 33s. At that MPG, this thing could become my daily driver! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

BTW, all numbers are adjusted for the odo being off due to not upgraded for non-235s.
