How does using larger diameter tires affect gas mileage?
It lowers your mpg
Will bigger tires affect how the car rides?
How it rides, handles, fuel mileage and power are affected.
Does using taller tires have a negative affect on gas mpg?
usually, yes, considering that taller tires and/or bigger wheels weigh more and require more power to spin. the fact that one full spin of the wheel covers a fractionally larger distance due to higher circumference of the tire partially compensates for it. but only partially.
Does having a higher speed rating on your tires affect your MPG?
no, it's just so you don't go too fast on crappy tires and risk blowing one out... it's only for the speed that the tires can handle safely. hope this helps!
Will fitting bigger tires change the mpg?
Yes. It will lower it due to the following two reasons. 1. Larger tires = more weight for the car to push. For every 200lbs of extra weight that your car has to move the mpg is reduced by 1. 2. Larger tires (unless the vehicle is lowered) will raise the height of the vehicle thereby decreasing aerodynamics. The vehicle will sit up higher and have less aerodynamics and increased drag. Making your engine work harder and reducing mpg.
