Fuel Mileage difference with 33's

Hello everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while, but this is my first post. First off I'd like to thank all the posters on here who have unbelievable knowledge of just about everything and anything F150 trucks. You'll never know how many people you really help, so thanks a bunch.

Now to my question. I have been sweating and toiling over taking my stock 31's off, putting a leveling kit on and putting some 33's on there. I have a 07 FX4 Screw, so obviously none of us are getting great mileage anyway.

But I'm really interested in knowing what kind of mileage difference any of you who changed the setups to what I'm considering are now getting mileage wise.

Heck, since we're all here, you might as well post what kind of setup you are running, and your mileage before and after the switchout of new tires.

thanks

I put 35's and lost 1mpg. Was getting 13.8, now getting 12.8, that's with troyer tunes. I also gain about 6 HP and 4 torque, which is good. I didn't lose any power at all.

I went with the 33s and Im getting about 1-1.5 mpg better but I do mostly highway about 95%. I have the Edge on lvl 2, and a magnaflow si/so exhaust. Stock intake for now. Mostly highway im getting 16 mpg. This is at 80 mph also.

Going from a 32" tire to a 33" hardly made any change in fuel mileage. When I had on 35's they had me down to 11 to 12mpg in the city, compared to the 14 I'm getting now.

woth it

Not much difference in mpg's. Did notice a drop in my low end torque, but not much, gears or tuner would eliminate that anyways. Worth the look, and for me the extra tire for off-road.
