Yup. I am surprised how little 0.8” and 20 pounds per corner reduced gas mileage. But my theory is that the electric motor is doing the hard work of moving the tires from stop on acceleration. On deceleration there is more inertia to charge the battery. So there is some offset there. That...

That was me until I got bigger tires - then dipped to 18.5 avg

Gotcha. I would prefer something like +25 or +30 unless I got super wide tires like a 35x12.5

Oh this is super helpful. I may be buying a second set of wheels for when I’m in the city - so I can get some standard load tires in this size (the same Falkens) - so method 703 with +35 offset here? Do they offer +30? I may want an itty bit of poke.

I’ve got a similar question - I am going to run two different sets of wheels for different applications. Currently running Wildpeak 275/70/18 on the TH wheels (I think +25 offset but I can never remember). The wildpeaks have the perfect poke on this setup but they run incredibly wide for a...

Holy cow - I bet under load holding in lower gears is better

For those getting mileage under what you expected - are you running tires that weigh 60 or more pounds - this is a big factor and took my mileage down from 20+ to 18+

Also guys - the TH is 5400 pounds before you even sit inside of it or do a single mod, and has almost 16” of running clearance in many spots with no air dam. If you’re getting over 18 I think it’s remarkable and impressive. I know guys with Ranger raptors getting 11.

6600 miles. Aside from being in the transmission TSB and fearing some future issue, zero actual problems and a delightful truck. Will buy again when the time comes.

I assume your 285/70/17 are the standard loads at 53 pounds? I get 18.5 very consistently with the Falken 275/70/18 at 60.3 pounds. Before the Falkens I got 20mpg. But no other mods aside from the diamondback, and definitely no rack to catch the extra wind. I do use 91 octane. Yes on TH...

I’ve got the diamond back. I plan to buy an up top rack that attaches to the cleat bolts from that cool Last Line of Defense dude. I want to throw on some recovery stuff, Jerry cans etc. https://www.uptopoverland.com/products/uptop-overland-truss-bed-rack-for-diamondback-bed-cover

Agree on 7 and 9 - but I have zero actual complaints

Wise man. Gives me something to consider.

Yeah I saw that one and the grabber - but trying to stay away from SL so that my truck has some legitimate off-road ability and puncture resistance. I think the E load does impact the ride for sure but if the tire is light enough the suspension can absorb the additional sidewall stiffness...

I’m spending 5% of my time off road. I’m a shameless show pony ? EXP. And yeah I think the 10.3 pound delta is what I need to make a real difference. I must be way more ride sensitive than 99% of folks here. Or maybe I’m one of the few where this is my only vehicle so it kinda needs to do...

Hey guys - I’m getting rid of my Falkens. At 60.3 pounds a tire they are too heavy. Combined with the E rating they are too harsh over bumps and braking is longer. I get that they are amazing tires and I’m NOT knocking them. I am not. But I want lower mass. I am also wedded to 275/70/18...

Yeah. It’s not driver error. When you slow to a stop there is a tiny surge or jolt in power above and beyond normal driveline idle forward motion. To me it feels like a regen glitch but I cannot be sure. I also have random hard 1 to 2 gear shifts like I did today. My 10 year old noticed it...

I took your advice, got a caliper.. and Holy crap - it's closer to 8-9mm! May be a consequence of my 60 pound Falkens. Not sure if I should be worried. But t this rate I'll have to replace them in a year. I'm used to going 60K miles on brake pads.

Thanks!! I went by DT to look at them. They look really decent. I'm between these and the MT Baja Legend EXP to replace my 60 pound Falkens which are just too heavy for me. The MT Baja Legend EXPs are 55 pounds and the Firestones are 50. My guess is that the ride comfort on the Firestones...
