How Tire Choice Affects Gas Mileage
Tires, Mileage, & YouMuch like a fat guy in a speedo, there are just some things that jump out at you and are impossible miss. Unfortunately, many of the things that go awry with our Jeeps are not so obvious. Our past story (“Gaining Through Losing,” Oct. ’11) got us thinking about it. Not the fat guy in the speedo, but the impact that tire selection has on mileage. In that story we picked up 0.63 mpg by simply losing 28 lbs of rotating weight at each corner, or 112 lbs of total rotating weight lost. But what about the tread design? Despite using two different brands of tires, we kept the tread design as similar as possible for that test. As we kicked the idea around more and more, we decided we likely had enough data from enough different vehicles to figure out just how different tires affect mileage.
