Power/Mileage With Loss 275/60/20

I am thinking of going from my stock wheels/tires to 275/65/20s (a/t tires)and was wondering what kind of mileage/power loss you guys have experienced. Was hoping to pick up some milage at 75mph, without too much loss around town. The truck has a g56 and 3.73s. Thanks.

I hand calc my mileage on a 1800 mile trip,avg 18mpg us at 70/75 mph.I had to keep the rpm under 1950 or the mileage would head south.

Thats not too bad. I get about 16.5mpg at 75-78mph empty. Thats 2500-2600rpm. Did you notice a power loss with the larger tires?
