A couple of weeks ago I got rid of my swampers for some BFG all terrains and my mileage went from about 10 to 13... Not only does the truck ride 10 times better but is getting 3 more mpg's!

(Note to self: leave stock tires alone and put tonnoue cover on "to do" list.)
Good deal!
Hey by the way guys/gals: what pressure are you running in your stock LT tires related to your mileage? Reason I ask is I checked mine and the dealer had only put 45 psi in all four. The door sticker say 50 front (cold) and 80 rear (cold) I pumped em up and picked up .1 mpg. Not to say it wasn't from engine break in but has me wondering. New pressure is a bumpy ride but...Like the mileage.
