I'm running 265/75/R16s. They are Michelin XC LT4s from Sears.

Coop is that on your over head read out casue that RPM wiht 4:10's is not typicall at all. Ususally going over 2000 RPM's on our trucks sharply decreases the MPG's

20.19 on the last tank. 60-65 mph. Very windy. Pounding on it in the traffic. I had to smoke one guy so I got after it a bit. Only had about 1000 pounds in the bed.
