I've got 275/60r20's and I'd rather not buy that size again, they're way too narrow. I noticed a little drop in MPG's from the pirellis to the 275/60, but I can't say how much since my speedo is off. I really want the 305's. How bad is your mileage?

Having said that, I'm now running a 275/70/18 on the new truck, and it seems like the best of both worlds to those of us who don't/won't run huge lifts. Beefy enough to fill out the wheel wells after a leveling kit, but doesn't ding the fuel economy much at all....not in the 5.0 anyway.

I can tell you from my experience that I dropped A LOT in fuel economy going from a 295 tire to a 305 tire! It was enough that I took them back and went back to a 295.

The 305's dropped my mileage about 2 mpg. They are also a little too wide to run on the stock wheel's and only give about 1/4 inch clearance from the upper control arm. Ideal tire would be a full 33x11.5 on the OEM wheels but they are hard to find.

That's it, the lightweight Pirelli's will give better fuel mileage then a LT rated tire. If you do a lot of stop and go driving they'll help your brakes too!

The 305s I had were 10 ply and so were the 295s. If memory serves me, the 305s were about 14lbs heavier than the 295s, but there was also a bigger 'footprint' where the rubber meets the road, too.
For my purposes, the 275/70/18 (or 275/60/20) is just about right on a 4x4 with a leveling kit for overall looks and performance.
